Hi all,

Take the course that has been described as "*practical*," "*fun*," and "
*nerdy*."

who want to learn about visitor studies. It is run by Tara Miller, a former

to hold your spot for this course.*

I will be running this course (and piloting others) throughout the fall.

Here is how past participants have described the course:

*Everything I learned I thought was very practical, and in depth enough
that I feel confident to take what I've learned and apply it in the real
world. Really glad I took this course and would recommend it to any
organization that's wanting to better understand their visitors'
experience!*

*I was taking this course to add another tool to my tool kit and I honestly
didn't expect it to be so much fun! Tara has so much evident passion for
visitor studies so it made for a very informative and engaging day. I have
come away with a new appreciation for this work and practical skills to
start conducting visitor studies on site.*

*This is a great course to review visitor evaluation methods, work with a
visitor studies specialist, and discuss visitor studies with other museum
professionals. It was great to leave this course with a tangible resource
that could be implemented quickly.*

Thanks,
Tara
