Welcome to the Assessment Institute Website
The Assessment Institute in Indianapolis is the nation’s oldest and largest convening of higher education professionals dedicated to transforming evidence into insight, innovation, and impact.
Hosted by the Center for Leading Improvements in Higher Education at Indiana University Indianapolis, the Assessment Institute is designed to provide opportunities for (1) professionals and teams to build knowledge, skills, and capacity for evidence-informed leadership, assessment, and improvement; (2) practitioners, scholars, and institutional leaders to share insights, explore emerging issues, and advance effective and innovative practices; and (3) colleagues across higher education to develop networks that support ongoing learning, collaboration, and impact beyond the Institute.
In addition to the annual Assessment Institute convening, which is scheduled through 2030, we offer a host of additional engagement opportunities to stay connected throughout the year:
- International Conference on Assessing Quality in Higher Education
- Assessment Update periodical with Wiley
- Assessment and Improvement Book Series with Routledge
- Free Webinar Series
- Leading Improvements in Higher Education Podcast
