Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We expect to receive about 80 or more submissions. We expect to print a color magazine, of approximately 64 pages, with submissions that receive high scores on the rubric used to evaluate submissions. We will evaluate our success by conducting a survey after printing the magazine. We will ask readers for honest feedback about the magazine’s quality and worth to the campus community. We will also evaluate our success in soliciting contributions.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We hoped to increase prior year submissions of 48 to at least 80. We received 149. We hoped for average scores of at least 75% on three measures from survey respondents: faithfulness to mission, artistic quality, value to campus community. The average scores fell within our goal. We produced a 96 page magazine, which was an increase from our anticipated 64 pages.
