In April 2017, a three-day Learning Improvement Summit, held in Washington, DC, brought together a broad array of national and international assessment stakeholders. The purpose of the summit was to empower a diverse group of faculty and assessment leaders to develop, refine, discuss, and address evidence-based learning improvement initiatives within higher education. In this short note, we provide a brief discussion of the need for the summit, the summit events, emerging themes, and lessons learned.
