Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Minnesotans will be moved, educated and entertained by diverse artists of immense talent who seek to provide meaning through their engagements. If the new process we try in 18-19 provides meaningful information, we will continue that method (recorded interviews). If the new method is not useful, we will use both online and printed surveys provided to audience members after the performance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Minnesotans will be moved, educated and entertained by diverse artists of immense talent who seek to provide meaning through their engagements. We returned to printed surveys, as we were unable to implement a plan to interview audience members. The faculty member who was going to organize the activity did not have the time to do it. We used printed surveys, and added an online survey.
