| Evaluation |
The evaluation component of the Ramp-Up Iniative conists of both internal and external formative and summative analysis by project leadership and external consultants. Feedback on Ramp-UP events has been consistently positive. For each event surveys were been distributed and analyzed to help the program evaluate the effectiveness and projected impact of future project activities. An external review process for Year One initiatives will begin in December 2007 to further our assessment of the impact Ramp-UP has had across campus. |
