The "My Life, My Town" (MLMT) Capstone project of Fall 2012 explores community narratives to foster deeper connections and engagement. Led by Erin Dismeier and Emily Kaiser, the project utilizes quantitative and qualitative research methods, including Google Analytics and focus groups, to gauge impact and refine strategies. Recommendations include integrating 'Shootback' into the website, frequent blogging, and creating interactive maps to familiarize users with Missouri geography. This initiative aims to promote local stories and events while developing a statewide outreach plan for future projects.
