Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The intended outcome is to inspire attendees to read, express themselves creatively, while exploring cultural aspects of Minnesota. A survey was distributed to receive feedback from those attending the programs.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Surveys were distributed to participants at all programs. 75% strongly agreed that this was an enjoyable experience and 63% strongly agreed that they would attend a similar event. Comments: An excellent interactive discussion. I liked hearing the author of the book give his insights into it. I liked the writing and drawing exercises.
