Barnett - week 9

Got some work done over break, but not much. Last night I went to the MCT at 7 and left at 5 a.m. I got my original proposal cleaned up and finished my final report and analysis. I spent about an hour and a half trying to figure out how to start numbering pages on the third page but had no luck. I just finished up my powerpoint for tonight's presentation so I'm officially done. There were so many parts for the project though that I feel like I'm either forgetting something or that I did something wrong. Hopefully that's not the case.

McCullough update 9

It's 11pm the night before the infamous capstone project is due, do you know where your sanity is? I do not. I have officially finished the PR campaign, and might I add it feels quite amazing! Now I am on to the daunting task of writing the report/evaluation. This part of the project is harder than I anticipated, probably because messing this up is worse than messing up the campaign itself.

I am fairly sure I know how I want my presentation to go tomorrow evening, I will focus on the goals and objectives the campaign set.

Galdun Update #9

Almost completed my capstone paper. I've spent the past week typing this thing up. Why do I feel as if I am not the only one? Looking forward to everyone's presentations tomorrow! It's nice to not have to do any more research..

Shimandle Week 10

Nothing like waiting until the last minute. My project is finally finished for all intents and purposes of class. What I took on is something that will not be absolutely finalized until the end of next semester because CAC's main events take place in the spring semester. However, I have the entire manual set up. It includes position descriptions, contacts, resources, examples, suggestions and a timeline. The contacts, resources, examples and suggestions can all be altered and added to as next semester progresses. The timeline is also tentative, but that goes without saying.
While it was a stressful project to take on, I really learned a lot about how the SU campus works with clubs and organizations, how each CAC officer is involved in the club as well as what I can be doing to further fulfill my position requirements. I have been cursing this project throughout the process, but ultimately, I'm glad I did it because it is something that will help out a cause that I am truly passionate about.
The only think I am waiting on, which is probably the most stressful part of the entire project, is the feedback from each officer and the Staff partner. Throughout this process I have found that it is almost impossible to rely on people who do not feel that this project will help or affect them, which is sad, but true. I am just hoping that they realize this is more about the cause we work to support and maintaining a presence on campus than it is about them individually or personally.
So, let's bring on the feedback... hopefully!
