hit the ground running

As this project begins, I think for me it's going to be most important to develop the time line and concept map to keep everything running on task. Being my last semester, I often find myself so ready to be done and overly sick of classes, projects and exams.

My capstone project will be an interactive speaker session for the John L. Grove College of Business about using social media to find your dream job. This summer I attend this speaker session by Andy Drish. Since I have planned previous events for Alpha Kappa Psi and the College of Business, I spoke with Andy after his session about speaking at Shippensburg. He was interested in the prospect of setting up other schools in the area or doing a webinar. This is also something I'll be taking into consideration for my project.

The skills this project will showcase for my project will be mainly event planning. However, this project has the ability to show my understanding of the audience and their needs during the economic times. I will also showcase survey and design skills.

My first tasks will include: contacting all the people involved, picking a date, making my concept map and timeline and finally the proposal.
