They will experience a wide array of hands on research experiences in the community by teaming up with experienced program evaluators who work on a variety of local, state, and national evaluation projects and grants. We conduct internal and external evaluations, including quantitative and qualitative methods, in order to assess program outcomes in multiple areas including, health and mental health, drug use and abuse, child welfare, public policy and STEM educational outreach programs.
