Mgilchrist Week 1


The tour of the UT offices was great! I feel like we are starting to get a good feel for the project ahead and I am excited to get the ball rolling. The facilities were different than I thought they would be, but it was awesome to see the reality of how a large media company like UT is structured. It was also really great to see how happy some of the employees were to have a group of young people coming in to help out. During the meeting in the board room it was encouraging to see how excited the executives are to start working with all of us. They seem to be placing a great deal of trust in our abilities and I am looking forward to making a difference for the company as a class.

Everyone seems enthusiastic and eager to start planning the event for the end of the semester and there were many great ideas put on the table. I think that having the event off campus could have great potential. They made a good point suggesting that we involve more than just USD students. I think that if we work hard to promote and find a venue that is appealing to our age group we could manage a sizeable turnout. I have spoken with the heads of USD Radio already and they would love to be involved and help promote in any way that we might need. I can’t wait to starting work with our groups and I am anxious to see what we can all do with this opportunity!
