Measurable Outcome(s)

Anecdotal Evaluations:

  • Individuals present loved the reading and low-key style. Many commented on how it would have been nice to have it in the paper one week earlier and/or some earlier exposure to draw more of a crowd. Individuals even suggested a Facebook notification of some kind.
  • The books were beautiful and the experience great. Would be nice to have more like this.
  • They were fighting over one of his books to check out!!!
  • Can't wait to see the next books.
  • Everyone enjoyed themselves completely, but all wished there would have been more lead time. They felt if there had been more time to advertise before the performance, more people would have found out about the performance and more would have attended.
  • Thank you so very much for arranging the Douglas Wood presentation!  Our students and staff really enjoyed it! We would like to send a thank you note to Douglas Wood.  Do you have his address? Thank you again for all of your hard work to make this all possible.
  • All loved it!
