The Assessment Colloquium is a new program at Truman developed by the Analysis and Reporting Group of the Assessment Committee in conjunction with the Center for Teaching and Learning.  The Colloquia were developed in response to increased requests to share data and assessment-related findings with the campus community.  The Colloquia began during the Spring 2004 Semester and featured three presentations from faculty members performing assessment.
