Data as the Relationship: Academic Program Review Cycles at Scale

October 21, 2026

12noon to 1:00PM Eastern Time

When one team supports Academic Program Review across an entire institution, individual relationships with every program are not always feasible. However, presence can be designed into the data and the scaffolding: what is provided, what reflection it prompts, and how that reflection is submitted. This session shares Northeastern's full program review cycle candidly, then opens into discussion with other institutions facing the same tension.

Presenter:

Jes Caron, Associate Director - Academic Program Review,

Northeastern University

Cost: this event is free for NEean members, and costs $15 for non-members.

An email will be sent to registrants on October 20

with log in information for the webinar.

Beyond Data: The Power of Assessment as Relational Presence

Building Professional Community During Institutional Change

November 6, 2026 from 9AM - 3:30PM

at The College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA

In assessment, the ways that we choose to show up matter. As our institutions face budget cuts, eliminated positions, institutional mergers, and constant restructuring, assessment professionals face challenges that are nuanced and multi-layered. We're navigating a BANI-VUCA landscape, one that's brittle, anxious, nonlinear, and incomprehensible, yet also volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous. Our work demands more than data. It requires human connection, collective wisdom, and support that depends on presence with one another.

This year’s Fall Forum invites you to step away from your screen and gather in person to strengthen the professional relationships that sustain us through change. Assessment works best in collaboration, and NEean offers a space to build mentoring networks, share strategies for doing more with less, and ground our practice in what matters most: students, relationships, and community. Whether you're navigating a merger, leading as a solo practitioner, or reimagining assessment amid policy uncertainty, you'll find colleagues who understand the challenges and are ready to dig into them together.

Join us to explore how relational presence transforms assessment from compliance into meaningful work that centers student voice, leverages technology thoughtfully, and creates the conditions for institutional resilience even when everything around us is shifting.
