Of special note is a new effort on the part of NEFDC. In collaboration with Dr. Barbara Walvoord of the University of Notre Dame, we are running a special pre-conference workshop, "Reflecting on Your Assessment in Departments and General Education: How to be More Realistic, Effective, and Time-Efficient". This small, limited-space workshop will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn in downtown Worcester, MA, from 1:00-4:30 pm. on Thursday, November 12th. More information on the workshop can be found at http://www.nefdc.org/events2.htm
