Measuring the Success of Celebratory Events

[Regina Clemens Fox]

All,
 
I am applying for a grant to fund a student conference/luncheon and journal that celebrates student writing. One question I have to address asks how I am going to measure the success of the event.
 
Any ideas on how to measure this?
 
thanks,
Regina

You can do a survey of those in attendance of the event asking them what  
they thought.  It doesn't need to be complicated or fancy (a 5 point  strongly
agree, agree, neutral, disagree, strongly disagree) on how they liked  the
presentations/panels, keynote, other events like lunch and the journal is  one way
to measure.  If the items that appear in the journal are selected  by blind
review, you can state how many were submitted and of those how many  were
published.
 
Good luck!
Risa

Lindsay is waitressing, and just got home. I don't really know exactly what my relationship with Walt is. We are friends and maybe more than friends but not to the extent that we don't have our own lives. Believe me I don't count on him to keep me company all the time...if I did I'd be disappointed hahahahaha.

Please disregard this message, unfortunately posted to the list but meant for my sister. How embarrassing but not the first time I've made such a mistake. My apologies.
