About ANNY and the Annual Assessment
Workshops and Conference
Established in 2010 to assist New York's colleges and universities
in their efforts to assess student learning and institutional
effectiveness, ANNY provides members with exposure to best
practices and emerging trends in assessment, along with
networking and cost-effective professional development
opportunities. In April 2013, ANNY hosted its first official
Assessment Workshops and Conference at the U.S. Military
Academy in West Point, NY. Attended by over 140 individuals
from more than 50 institutions, this event exceeded expectations
and re-affirmed the need for a state-wide assessment organization.
In 2014 ANNY hopes to attract even more participants by creating
an exciting program of diverse topics.
