Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Through the 2016 Walker West Summer Music Camp, 35 students will participate in a three-week music education and enrichment camp. As a part of the camp's final performance, at least 75 audience members will attend at Walker West's new music center on Selby Avenue in Saint Paul. The 2016 Walker West Summer Music Camp will be evaluated in two ways. The first way is students, and their parents will be invited to participate in an online evaluation to provide feedback about their experience. The second is for faculty and staff to participate in a group feedback session following the camp's completion, and filling out an online survey.
