English Festival 40th Anniversary Questionnaire

Welcome

The YSU English Festival is a treasure of the greater Youngstown area, having served well over 100,000 students and teachers over nearly four decades. The program’s ability to encourage and reward reading and writing among young people on a massive scale each year has made it a memorable experience, both for the students attending and for the authors and guests who travel to Youngstown each year to participate. 

Some of us at YSU believe that this unique educational event deserves much broader attention, well beyond the Mahoning Valley. Since 2018 marks the 40th anniversary of the Festival, we have decided to gather evidence from as many sources as we can to prepare an article compelling and important enough to be published in a national periodical and for use in English Festival publications. 

This brings us to you. Since you’ve been actively involved in the YSU English Festival in some way, we are asking you to use this questionnaire to express your recollections and feelings about this annual event. The questions below are intended to spark your memory, not limit your comments. Feel free to color outside the lines. If you do not want us to name you in the article, please let us know.
