New Opportunity! UW-Madison Certificate in Culturally Responsive Program Evaluation

Starting in Summer 2018 the University of Wisconsin-Madison will be offering a non-credit professional development certificate in Culturally Responsive Evaluation. The certificate will take approximately 12 months to complete and is a mix of two in-person workshops on the UW-Madison campus, online sessions, and an applied project. It is a good fit for program directors, managers or educators in non-profit and government organizations who want to build their evaluation skills. 
 
The first in-person workshop will be held on August 23rd, 2018 in conjunction with Day Two of the Serve Wisconsin grant writing workshops. Participants through Serve Wisconsin can attend this first in-person session and then enroll in the certificate program (for a fee).  To learn more about the Certificate program contact Annalee Good.
