TORONTO, ON – On Fri­day, Novem­ber 7, 2014, OISE plays host to the 25^th annu­al Edward Kel­ly Eval­u­a­tion Con­fer­ence, a one-day, grad­u­ate stu­dent-orga­nized eval­u­a­tion event where par­tic­i­pants will exam­ine how eval­u­a­tion can meet the needs of soci­ety, what the key issues fac­ing eval­u­a­tion will be in the future, and what they need to know to do it. This region­al eval­u­a­tion con­fer­ence pro­vides stu­dents with research inter­ests in the field of eval­u­a­tion an oppor­tu­ni­ty to present their own orig­i­nal research and net­work with pro­fes­sion­als and aca­d­e­mics in the field.
