| Success rating (1 = unsuccesful, 5 = very successful) |

| Lessons/suggestions | Advertise more, have more people man booth, more colorful? Traffic was good, but no one who walked by was willing to make a phone call. Also contributing was the general culture of the SOM. |
| ADDITIONAL COMMENTS | |
| Comments | Assess whether there is any interest at all at the SOM, and then proceed with project. If you know there isn't any interest, it may not be worth your while to try. I thought it was worth my while even though I had a feeling no one would call. |
