Institute for Learning Innovation

ILI researcher Nicole Claudio teamed up with colleague Dorothy Svgdik to present at the 2024 Tennessee Association of Museums Conference this week!

Their "With Whom? Evaluation as Community Partnership" session addressed a critical question for museums: How can they strengthen ties with their communities through visitor studies, especially with limited resources?

Drawing on their combined expertise in museum evaluation, Nicole and Dorothy offered practical solutions to overcome common challenges like tight budgets and staffing limitations. Their presentation emphasized the importance of visitor studies as a tool for building stronger museum communities and charting a successful future.
