Professional Development Workshop Series

August 20-23, 2010

Thanks for another great year!

Several hundred participants, hailing from across the globe and representing an exciting cross-section of the private and public sectors, converged on Claremont Graduate University's campus for four days of intensive training in Evaluation and Applied Research Methods. We truly appreciate the warm feedback from those who came to campus, and the hundreds of participants who joined us online for live webcasts as well.
