Effectiveness and Assessment
Data-driven assessment plays a key role in ensuring the GRACE Project successfully equips students for meaningful civic participation.
Partnering with the Frost Center for Social Scientific Research, we evaluate the program using surveys and focus groups, measuring the effectiveness of our efforts. This provides us with a clear picture of how our programs — ranging from our student cohort to campus-wide lectures — are actually shaping students’ ability to engage in civil dialogue and democratic deliberation. This data-driven approach results in ongoing improvement as we tailor our programming to meet the specific needs of our student body,
The GRACE Project will share its reports and meaningful adjustments through this webpage.
