not only did the symposium run smoothly, but i'm one assignment closer to the end.
our advanced community practice class was given a Community Change Assignment on the first day of class. so, we decided to have a symposium. a symposium on poverty. to educate people about what poverty looks like, and why it matters to everyone.
went we came up with the idea, i don't think anyone though about all the work we needed to put into it, or what the final product would be. we wanted a panel of speakers, plus some sort of survey, plus something else...
flash forward to tonight.
after all those weeks of preparation, we actually pulled it off. not only did we get an AMAZING panel *who, by the way gave excellent presentations, and are totally experts in their field*, but we had ALMOST 80 people there. yeah. 80!
our professor was in awe about the fact that we pulled it off. dude, i think we were all in awe!
it was fabulous. really. all the hard work. all the last minute stress. and people came, enjoyed it, and left educated.
yeah, grad school rocks.
oh, and... i met with one of my professors about that 20 page management paper. she basically thinks that i have great writing skills, and that my paper was a "pleasure to read." that's great, since my internship expects on me to write grants!
