that will be taking place while we’re together in
Indy.
If you’re anything like us, you’ve got a
keen interest in everything assessment-related.
Consider attending one (or all) of this year’s
AER KC sponsored sessions. You can learn
more on page 3.
We’re also always looking for volunteers
interested in moving the KC’s work forward.
We’re excited to be introducing several new
“work groups” this year, including professional
development, coaching and mentorship, and
communications. If you’re interested in
becoming more active in the KC, please stop by
the AER KC table at the “Communities and
Grad Prep Fair” Monday, March 14, 2016

JW Marriott Indianapolis).
And don’t forget to attend the KC’s
business meeting Tuesday, March 15, 2016 at
7am (yes, 7am!) in Grand Ballroom X (also

Assessment is everywhere, and our time
in Indy will provide you with many
opportunities to become even more familiar

opportunities to become even more engaged in
NASPA through the Assessment, Evaluation
and Research KC!
We hope to see you in Indy!
