The success of the program can be measured in a variety of ways. A successful measure for the U S WEST Corporation was established when U S WEST conducted marketing surveys before and after the WOW visits. It was found that communities' knowledge of U S WEST and WOW increased after the WOW visits. Many of these communities asked the team for return visits. Lastly, the UNC staff has been invited to give numerous presentations and workshops on the program throughout the region and the nation.
Success comes from dedication and hard work.
The UNC WOW Staff has spent tireless hours developing a variety of Web navigation. Microsoft Office, Web Site Development, and Graphic editing curriculum so that they and the interns could deliver fresh and innovative classes. Time has been dedicated to developing and providing interactive Web sites for participants of classes, dissemination of the program, and communication among the staff. UNC and U S WEST created a strong foundation and working partnership for a very successful program. In summer of 2000, U S WEST merged with Qwest.
