Fall 2008 Contributions

This semester, I created a pamphlet that is next to the AguaClara poster by the Engineering Admissions office. I also created an opening page letter for our solicitation packet and met with and created a proposal to Mike Walter for the BEE department to add AguaClara to their list of approved courses.
As part of the outreach team, I helped create a PowerPoint and present a teach-in to the class. I have met to film clips intended for use on the Google 10 to the 100 project. I took part in sessions to learn about the demo plant and assisted Michael in developing instructions for using the demo plant. I have also been organizing and adding to the wiki.
Also as part of the Google 10 to the 100 project, I filled out the submission form that had various questions about our idea. In an effort to spread our video and get more views, I sent it around to many people I know. I also put a link to the video on our Facebook page.
In an effort to recruit new members during pre-enrollment, I helped to hang fliers throughout the engineering quad. I also contacted the Society of Women Engineers to get a note about joining AguaClara in the weekly SWEmail for the weeks near pre-enrollment.
I took part in designing AguaClara t-shirts including coming up with ideas and colors for the shirt. As part of an Outreach meeting, I sat in on a conference call with Tamar where we were able to get ideas for grants to fill out. As a result of this conversation, we applied for a grant called the King Hassan II Great World Water Prize. I talked to Professors Leonard Lion and Francis Vanek to get letters of reference and worked with Tamar and John to get letters of reference from people in Honduras as well.
I am currently working on the P3 Award through the EPA and will have that information posted when the submission is complete. However, that is not due until December 23.
