Stimulate evaluation thinking concerning under-represented communities and culturally responsive evaluation.
Deepen the evaluation profession’s capacity to work in racially, ethnically and culturally diverse settings.
Interns may come from various disciplines, including public health, education, political science, anthropology, psychology, sociology, social work, and the natural sciences.

This seminar will provide insights into the need for a program within a community and research how programs impact a community in the short and long term. For example, a food bank may measure short-term impact through the number of pounds of food it provides users. It may measure longer-term outcomes by considering how food provision impacts those it serves through better nutrition and/or the easing of financial burden. The seminar will also introduce quantitative and qualitative methods and tools for investigating impact and discuss how organizations can improve or start evaluations of their projects and programs.
