Week 6

This week we had a Hospitality Department meeting with Shannon and it was very encouraging to see what tasks and projects we will need to address in the future. I thought it was a smart choice to save the Film Kid Mixer for next semester. I think it would have been too rushed if we tried to squeeze it in between Cucalorus, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. Having the Film Kid Mixer during the second week of the Spring semester should make for a better attendance for the event. 

I also met with Michelle this weekend to discuss my role as the Printing Manager in more detail. I am feeling more comfortable with this role now that I know the specifics. 

I have finally chosen my Top 5 picks for this year's partner school. They are the University of North Carolina Greensboro, George Mason University, American University, University of South Carolina Columbia, and SCAD. I have decided to discard the film schools in the north because the current budget will not allow it and the funds from fundraisers are much more needed elsewhere. The furthest schools (George Mason and American University) are still within a reasonable distance of 5 hours, which will increase our chances to bring students and faculty to Visions6. I will have the class vote on which school they would like me to pursue this week.  

I have also started some preliminary research regarding Marketing Outreach. I found these websites very helpful:
