The Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts collaborates with institutions to gather and use evidence to strengthen liberal arts education.
November 16: We are currently renovating our website. We have recently added information about Teagle Assessment Scholar activities. Also new to the site is a list of Center of Inquiry projects, and we have added a section dedicated to assessment-related projects at Wabash College. (See two of our latest additions about the Wabash Writing Project and an African American rhetoric course immersion trip to the South.) Thank you for your patience as we make changes. We welcome your questions, comments, or suggestions about the website. Contact us at .
