About the Summit

On April 7, 2027, NC State, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and Duke University will be co-hosting the first annual Triangle Assessment Summit at NC State’s McKimmon Conference and Training Center in Raleigh.

Our institutions continue to refine evidence-based best practices in student outcomes, program evaluation, and educational and administrative effectiveness.

Please register by March 24, 2027. Registration is free for individuals affiliated with one of the host institutions.
