One of the short term goals was participating in a roundtable discussion about the project enabling the team to present the project to a public audience and received feedback for the first time. The audience not only engaged with questions and comments at the end but really throughout the entire presentation. Participants seemed intrigued, interested and eager to learn more about the partnership between a small nonprofit and large university. They could see the benefits to both sides and had lots of great feedback about how the team can manage and streamline the project in future years including more formalized partnerships, how to engage other departments of the university, how to obtain the best technology for oral interviews, how to present findings, and more.
