Abstract Information: What is program sustainability? How do we know if a program is becoming more or less sustainable? In this roundtable, we will unpack the answers to these questions as we discuss challenges and techniques for evaluating program sustainability. Equity-oriented STEM evaluators will introduce a new rubric presenting key stages and dimensions of program sustainability. The rubric will serve as a catalyst for participants to consider their own evaluation methods during the discussion, and as a resource for participants to incorporate into their own ongoing evaluation practices. By the end of this roundtable, participants will be able to better articulate the meaning of sustainability for their unique contexts, and exchange ideas for establishing and evaluating sustainability within a supportive environment.
