Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Student benefits include appreciating Chinese culture and art, communicating with people from different backgrounds, and learning to respect different beliefs, religions, and education. Promote their future advancement to society. An Evaluation Form will be handed to every audience who enter the theater, and the form will be collected at the end of the concert. The Evaluation Form will also be sent to organizations and students via emails. The same Form will be displayed on AMUC’s website www.artmediauschina.org. AMUC will conduct a review after the concert. All collected feedback information will be reviewed and saved on AMUC email system (admin@artmediauschina.org), good and valuable suggestions and recommendations will be used for future activities use. Ticket sales count and seminar participants count.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our project was successfully implemented as we planned on Feb. 8, 2020. Due to the impact of Corona virus spreading, the numbers of audiences were lower than that we expected, some bought tickets but not in the theater. There were 360 audiences, among them, Caucasians 40%, Asians 50%, other race about 10%. 10 artists performed on the stage. 60 students dancers and 30 dancers performed.
