Measurable Outcome(s)

1. An experienced and qualified compiler was hired through the University contracting process. And an experienced and qualified graphic designer was subcontracted for through the Mill City Press.

The publication: DOGGED DETERMINATION was completed in time to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the 1957 law before the end of 2017.

2. Each and every activity occurred as planned. The book, as a hard copy or an ebook, is available through Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com. It has also been submitted to the Hennepin County Public Library and the University of Minnesota libraries so anyone can access a copy through interlibrary loan. A copy of the book is being given to each of the higher education special education training programs for use in their classes. Comments on the book project and the book have been very position with "amazing" as a most common remark. Questions included, "Where in the world did you find all those pictures? They're wonderful."

3. With the enthusiasm expressed at the 60th Anniversary, it is fully expected that the book will be used as a resource if not required reading in higher education teacher, administrator, and parent training programs.
