Students aren’t the only ones who study here.

At Alverno, we continually work to be an invaluable source for educators and researchers throughout the world. 

Every year, through our Assessment and Outreach Center (AOC), hundreds of educators representing more than 140 institutions in the United States and abroad have come to our campus to attend workshops and institutes to learn about our ability-based curriculum and performance assessment methods, as well as to gain insight from our research on a variety of issues pertaining to women and education.
