• Most students found the assessment developed problem solving skills

• Most students feel far better equiped to develop their own shows

• Epic Jam 2013 was sucessfully delivered to an appreciative audience on September 12th.

• Over fifty students were involved in the performance, management, and production crews.

Technically speaking, no one cried this timeSilent weeping, sobbing, and moments of mindless terror were not measured.
