Evaluation Café
Since the 1980s, the Evaluation Café has been a venue for spirited dialogue about the cutting edge of evaluation.
The Evaluation Café features discussions, debates, and presentations about evaluation over the lunch hour. Café presenters introduce new ideas, solicit feedback on real-world evaluation issues, and share recent evaluation work.
Evaluation Café is pleased to offer both in-person and virtual options. Join us for lunch and a thought-provoking conversation led by innovative minds in our field in 4510 Ellsworth or via Zoom.
