Abstract:
This issue features collaborators from the Connecting Students to the World of Work (WoW)
grant program implemented by the Oregon Arts Commission (OAC). Collaborators included a
member of the OAC staff, a contracted researcher, and a contracted graphic designer. In this
article, these three authors share how they determined a key design style to convey a complex
message about program assessment data to a variety of audiences. They provide
recommendations for establishing relationships and trust among an evaluation
communications team as well as responsibility for how data sets are communicated to funders,
policy makers, and general audiences.
