Measurable Outcome(s)

Programs were well received - attendees learned much about Minnesota history and 'ghostly' facts they had previously been unaware of. There was an interest in searching out more about the topic. Attendees appreciated the interaction between the presenter and his audience. Comments: 'I think it is great to have presenters like this at the school -- reached a different group of students. They really enjoyed it."
