| Abstract:
Graduate students are often limited in their capacity to create effective change due to role limitations and boundaries. Thus, how do graduate students conduct high quality evaluations within the power constraints of their assistantships? This roundtable seeks to begin a conversation starting with four evaluation graduate students of different ethnicities (Black, Latina, Asian and White), school status, evaluation experience and perspectives on the matter. With the understanding that most graduate students lack power and control over the design and implementation of evaluations, we invite other graduate students, novice evaluators, and experts, to join the conversation. The roundtable participants will attempt to clarify how to navigate various graduate student roles and values, all while being responsive to stakeholder and audience needs in order conduct evaluations of high quality.

| Abstract:
The impact of research and evaluation assistants on evaluation quality is an important topic to the evaluation field. The purpose of the current presentation is to explore how research and evaluation assistants contribute to quality evaluation through their skill sets, to discuss how skills can be developed to mutually benefit assistants and evaluators, to explore the role of research and evaluation assistance as new evaluators, and to further explore the roles of support staff in guaranteeing quality evaluation.
