The Beliefs, Events, and Values Inventory (BEVI) is an assessment used at the Purdue University--West Lafayette campus to measure development of intercultural competence, critical thinking, emotional resilience, and more. We currently hold an unlimited annual institutional license, which means anyone associated with Purdue can use the BEVI for with no additional per-person cost.

About 75 faculty and staff at Purdue have been trained as administrators of the BEVI. Please check the Events tab on the CoreCollaborative International website for details about upcoming training seminars. A significant discount is being offered for Purdue faculty and staff. To register for the next event with the discount or ask about potential costshare of the training fee, please email cilmar@purdue.edu.
