Part of Series Profiling University Programs! The Graduate Student and New Evaluator TIG is sponsoring a webinar series. One per month, we'll offer a webinar reviewing graduate programs in evaluation from around the United States. Each webinar will feature a faculty member and a student who review strengths of the program's faculty, explain what the student experience is like, share examples of the type of projects in which students can expect to take part, and include time for questions from attendees. Today's Presenters will be Jennifer Greene and Ayesha Boyce from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The series should be a good opportunity for prospective students and evaluators of all kinds to learn about evaluation training opportunities around the country.

Part I of III: This webinar is the first in a three-part series sponsored by the Multiethnic Issues in Evaluation TIG. Once per month, we'll offer a webinar reviewing the most current topics around evaluation and multiethnic issues. The first webinar will describe Culturally Responsive Evaluation and discuss its practical applications. The second webinar will cover research methods and procedures to determine whether culture has been given appropriate attention in an evaluation study. And the third webinar in the series will discuss how research has traditionally (and perhaps mistakenly) handled the topic of race. Each webinar will also include time for questions from attendees. The series should be a good opportunity for evaluators to reflect on their practice. Sign up for any one in the series or all three.

Miradi - a Swahili word meaning "project" or "goal" - is a user-friendly program that allows nature conservation practitioners to design, manage, monitor, and learn from their projects to more effectively meet their conservation goals. The program guides users through a series of step-by-step interview wizards, based on the Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation. The software helps teams to prioritize threats, develop objectives and actions, and select monitoring indicators to assess the effectiveness of their strategies. Nick Salafsky, a member of the product development team, will introduce the software and its uses for evaluation. Note that this is a product demonstration, similar to what you would see via an exhibit at our annual conference.
