Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
This program seeks to provide an affordable Suzuki immersion course to a diverse group of students while providing teaching faculty with adequate compensation. We will evaluate the ability of the program to serve a diverse student group by noting how diversity compares with last year and other similar programs. We will similarly evaluate artistic compensation and solicit feedback via surveys from audience, students, and teaching artists at the final concert.
