About the Event

This IN-PERSON only event, hosted by UAL's Social Purpose Lab (Transformation Team) proposes to examine and debate the role of evaluation in transforming HE environments. It will allow participants to hear from professionals who work in the field and discuss current theories and approaches.

They will eventually get insight into different methods and initiatives, and consider the balance between ambition and practicality in internal transformational efforts in HE environments.
