Public Relations Working Group

The main purpose of the Public Relations Working Group is to raise awareness about international water related issues, specifically the quest to provide access to safe drinking water, and how AguaClara strives to meet these goals.

To gain awareness and exposure for the AguaClara cause, the Public Relations group has been making posters and giving presentations to many interested parties around campus including Cornell Health International, and the Bio-Expo. We have been sending press releases to a multitude of local media outlets including the Cornell Daily Sun and the Ithaca Journal. We plan to contact area schools and community groups to arrange presentations and lessons for local students. We will facilitate these presentations but everyone on the team is encouraged to attend. In order to make this efficient we will develop a generic lesson plan that can be used and modified depending on the situation.

New educational materials have been designed for AguaClara. We have developed new Pamphlets, Brochures, and Info Sheets along with other promotional materials. As part of getting our name seen around campus, we have designed and printed posters and created t-shirts. For the web, the wiki is being redesigned and translated to Spanish.

Recruiting

We will work to recruit other people based on skills needed. This includes promoting AguaClara within the Civil Engineering Department, the College of Engineering and also to different departments around Cornell. Potential examples include, someone with educational experience to work on developing a lesson plan, people from biological or health related departments to organize measures of the effectiveness of our efforts, and people from social development departments to study how our efforts are effecting local communities and populations. We will make presentations to ENGRD classes and to other organizations that have expressed interest around campus, advertise in the Sundial, and put up posters in various places on campus.

Recruitment material can be found by browsing Outreach Resources.
