Week 2 reflection

 Our second week of senior project went a lot smoother than the first. After teaming up with Alicia our group has been off and running. I will say working with Alicia has worked well for me especially for trying to multitask between senior projects and my capstone project. I have had tremendous hours of work on this capstone project and a large part of me wishes I had just made that my senior project but it is okay because I am getting through it and getting both where they need to be. Alicia has been very helpful though in the sense that she understands there are times I will be free and times I won’t and she makes an effort to figure out when those times are rather than just saying I need you here now, with the assumption that I have nothing better to do. On top of that our project has turned out to be quite enjoyable as well as beneficial. Alicia does a good job of giving us tasks that are suited well for what we are capable of doing in terms of admissions. I say this because admissions is the face of the school to people outside our community and so a lot of the things they do need to be done very well because it is a lot of the school’s reputation on the line. Because of this a lot of what admissions does would not be realistically a good task for high school students for example putting out information about the school online or giving input on the day to day functionality of their office. This means a lot of what we do is involved with what admissions does on campus. This means a lot of tours, connecting with students, building infographics for students when they come to campus, things of that nature. She also let us sit and help with a lot of the green key stuff. It has also been cool to learn about more of what admissions does in their process of selecting kids and things they are considering in applicants as well as choosing the process and criteria in admissions processes.

Final reflection

  All things considered, I have to say senior project was successful. I wish I could say it was a relaxing fun week but honestly it was a stressful grind for me trying to log hours for senior project while juggling my capstone project. This is now my fifth paper written in the last thirty six hours with a total page tally of 18 if you count these three. I do not mean to sound negative when writing this though. I was able to learn a lot from the experience both from admissions and from my capstone. And to add from that I learned how difficult being an event coordinator can be especially at proctor.  Welp, we finished our first week of senior project. It was a roller coaster ride for us as what we anticipated when signing up for this project was not what it boiled down to be. Back in early spring we created “Senior Baganza” in hopes of getting students out at night having fun on campus. We wanted to do water wars, basketball tournaments, bonfires and much more. As we spent the f...

Day Number 2

 Yesterday for me was a little more capstone heavy with work rather than event coordinating. I arrived to School and began working on my capstone up until 10. They had begun the meeting at 9:30 but I wanted to finish up my other work so I lagged a bit. We spent this time coming up with rules and things to consider for the games we came up with yesterday. This was with hopes to make the games flow smoother. Then after lunch we met again from 12-2:30 where mitchell has been working to create a website where we can track all the work we are doing. We have ideas to track batting average if we do wiffleball or kickball and to have teams records accessible and fun stuff of that nature all up for people to view. We hope in doing this it will make people a little more interested in the project rather than just feeling like they are showing up to play kickball on a Tuesday afternoon. Hours- 9:30-11:30               12-2:30 Total project hours: 9
