Project: Event Planning
Basic Details
Set up team bonding events, such as a Barbeque and Bowling Night. These are set up to help the members of AguaClara get closer and more comfortable with each other. Most members do not get the chance to meet the other members in other research groups. So this will give members a chance to socialize and to get to know the people they are working with. There will be other public Cornell events on campus, that will help spread the word of AguaClara and help bring in potential new members interested in water treatment. Such events will include, Dunk Tank, Bake Sale, and Water Awareness.
What Has Been Completed So Far
So Far, the PR team planned to have both team bonding events and public events this semester at least once. The team bonding event are much easier to plan out because the event does not need to be registered with Cornell University. The members of the team will be contacted through email/slack to arrange an event such as BBQ or Bowling Night. The public events are much more complicated because it needs to be registered through Cornell. The whole process of planning an event on the Arts Quad or Ho Plaza will take at least a month due to Cornell policies.
A survey will be sent out to see if people will want to have an end of a semester party by either going team bowling or having a small get together.
Next Steps of the Project
The PR team will try to have a public event organized and planned by the end of the semester. PR will contact the Event Planning Cornell to start setting up a time and place for the public event. We will have team bonding events, most likely a BBQ, by mid October.
The one event we are trying to plan is a team bowling party.
Any Problems Currently Being Faced
Planning these event will take a lot of hard work, but that hard work would be for nothing if we do not get help from other members on the team. For Public events on Cornell Campus, PR team will need the help from other members to put in time and volunteer at the table.
