"Your Name Here"'s Individual Contribution Page

Spring 2009 Contributions

This semester I was in charge of working with the pr aspect of the Outreach team. I worked on such tasks as compiling spread sheets for potential speakers, potential journals that AguaClara can submit articles to, similar water treatment plants across the country, media contacts, and student organizations that can potentially assist in pr/fundraising. Most of my energies this semester were spent acquiring this information and putting them into spread sheets. However, I also spent a good deal of time meeting with people about AguaClara(Andrew Tisch;Board of Trustee, Isha Saini; treasurer of CHI, Michael Beyman; local radio, Danielle Davis; Cornell Sun,etc.). I helped brainstorm ideas for the functions of the new student group, made a list of possible fundraisers for AguaClara, and compiled a list of NGOs to mail out new pamphlets and fliers to after they are printed in the next few weeks. Min, Joe, and I worked on the press release/article about Cuatro Communidades for the local media. Articles were successfully put in the Bully Pulpit and Cornell Daily Sun and a video was uploaded on the Partners in Health website. Currently, Joe and I are working on an article/grant to submit to the Clinton Global Initiative and for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. I am also in talks with the housing forum and house professor of Alice Cook to host a "ball" on West Campus, open to all students, to raise money for AguaClara.
