At This Point

In terms of generating attention, I want to hand out flyers on UMBC’s campus to ensure that students are informed about our event. I would also want to involve the UMBC webpage as well as the myumbc ticker. I would also want to take advantage of the open spaces on campus such as academic row where the Chick Fil A and Starbucks are in terms of advertising on campus either by posting ourselves there and creating a scene (with maybe music and flyers), the space in front of the library and also the Erickson field area. Advertising in the Commons would work to our benefit as well. For the donations of food from local vendors, I would prefer for us to go to the community beforehand and get acquainted with residents. This would allow us to familiarize ourselves with possible resources and people. The establishments that Rachel and I were able to visit had generally inviting atmospheres and the people appeared to be positively responsive to our presence with greetings and their overall demeanors.  At this point I still feel a bit detached from the event only because I feel that it is split down the middle with Art and History and with my expertise not necessarily residing within each of the two. But I do believe that I can still be valuable and contribute to either one. My grouping is now within the Art sector and I feel that our groups are wonderfully engaged and will incorporate each and everyone of us effectively. I see so much fun ahead of us!
