The Student Case Competition has a long history of helping to cultivate emerging evaluators in Canada but this year we’re trying something different – we’re going online! Two teams will be competing in this year’s second round (Simon Fraser University and the University of Waterloo) to see who will be crowned this year’s champion.

CES recognition of responsibility for improving Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
CES recognizes that evaluators have a role to play in addressing systemic issues that affect people’s lives.

EPAC’s highly popular April 9 brainstorming webinar focussed on current ethics challenges in the COVID-19 period. Participants wanted more; so our next webinar will look to the post-COVID future: What ethical challenges will arise when some organizations ramp up to resume their suspended operations, while others pivot in new directions?
