Workshop Follow-Up<\/h3>

Wendy Troxel and Kathy Zarges, NACADA consultants and workshop facilitators, provided 1:1 consulting services for teams from UW universities in spring 2025 to further support development and implementation of their assessment plans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All teams were invited to a virtual follow-up session on May 22, 2025. That session was designed to provide a brief recap of some of the common themes the consultants heard in their conversations with UW teams, to allow time for campus check-ins to share progress and discuss challenges, to provide an opportunity for participants to ask questions of each other and the consultants, and to discuss next steps and how to best support advising assessment efforts going forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
