I have worked on apparel: figuring out what needs to be done to get t-shirts made, making a survey/collecting responses, getting forms, designing the apparel, etc. I am hoping to have final designs by next week so we can order them. I have also planned out with Alex what the best ways are to spread the word about AguaClara and the means of doing so. I have planned a brochure design with Alex and also planned out the poster that we are going to present on October 21st for ACSF. I'm working on the logistics of how to create and print this poster. I've also been spreading the word to other students (mostly environmental engineers) about AguaClara and how to get involved.
December 2011:
The Public Relations team attended several events this semester to spread the word about AguaClara, the work that we do, and how to get involved. AguaClara went to the Interdisciplinary Sustainability Student Summit in NYC, Campus Sustainability Day, and the Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future presentation. Alex was the only PR team member present at the ISSS, but we were both at the other two events. Campus Sustainability Day wasn't as successful for us as we had hoped, as not many people came by, but we were able to tell some students about how to get involved and we also interacted with other sustainability groups on campus. The ACSF allowed us to meet a lot of alumni and gain potential supporters. We brought the demo plant and our new poster to both events. We finished the poster just in time for the ACSF event and we can re-use and/or re-print this poster for future use.
