Kat received quotes from Janelle so she can finish the puppetry UROP article. She is also working on vlogging research.
Zach said the Violent Paradox UROP article is almost done. He spoke to Eric H. Olsen about the vlogging project and he was interested in it.
Cheryl has a meeting next week regarding how to do a project with multiple departments: ie. the process for the Bridge, Annual Report, Chancellor invites, etc. She will be putting together a timeline.
We are going into the next Bridge. Cheryl hopes to have it mailed the first two weeks of Feb.
Cheryl is also working on the fourth Fox News segment. She was thinking a story about international programs. Everyone liked that idea.
Cheryl also did a powerpoint for Betty.
Christiana is working on a number of news releases including the latest award for Swenson. She is waiting for correction on the Master of Civil Engineering. She is also working with FUSE Duluth regarding expanding the campus connection beyond LSBE.
Kathleen has been working on homepage changes. Edited the stories, cropped photos, and wrote the 25 words x 4 for the homepage. She has also started the next issue of Currents this week. She has been getting spring semester schedules from the students (thank you) and will put the January calendar and marketing/comm webpage asap. Kathleen also worked on the copy for the Strat Plan e-newsletter yesterday.
We reviewed what we need for edited versions of the UROP articles for the Bridge and edited versions of homepage stories for UMD Updates in the Bridge. After the meeting, Kathleen updated the new document Winter Bridge which incorporates the UROP info and the UMD Update info and links. She sent an email to the team telling them about that.
Cheryl asked Christiana to get back to television reporter regarding a math or physics professor to talk to about Santa!
FOX NEWS
ReplyDeleteI'm working on our Jan 4 story. I have got the Hawaii story and the Soccer in England story lined up for Tuesday from 1:30-3. Possibly a student from the Thailand trip will join us. Also have Leigh Neys from international programs ready to give an overview.
NEW YEAR GREETING
Am working with Matt on the printed card for 800 donors. Working with Lori on the mailing lists. Working with Swim Creative on the filming for the e-greeting.
LAST UROP
Finished the sugar sweetened beverages in hospitals story. Am waiting for approvals.
PROCESS FOR PRINT PROJECTS
I wrote a process for working with other departments on projects we collaborate on. I am having a meeting with Alumni, Development, and Brett today to review it.
BRIDGE
We are having a content meeting on the Bridge on Wed. The American Indian story idea needs brainstorming. I am writing up the Chicago interviews over the break:
Craig Omtvedt – CFO Fortune Brands LSBE
Christine Collins, Research Abbott Labs SCSE
Robert Harder, Bombardier Book published by Naval Academy CLA
Jessica Carlstrom, Warrior Art Studio SFA
STRATEGIC PLAN
Work with Matt on a simple yet classy email for Denny Falk to send out a strategic plan newsletter.
NEW EXTERNAL AFFAIRS webpages
Worked with Matt (mostly Matt did this) on setting up the external-affairs page for the 2012 homepage stories. We need to stop using unirel (university relations).
ADDYS
We should enter the ADDY competition. The annual report and strategic plan books for sure. Any other ideas? BTW, thanks for all of your help on those two pieces.
THANKFUL
Christiana, Kathleen, Brett, you all excel in what you do. You are true professionals with the highest standards of excellence. Kat, Zach, Jess, you are amazing and talented! Wow, what a fall! I am thankful to be on your team. It is an honor and a privilege to work with all you.
The Violent Media Enjoyment Paradox story is done, only waiting on a picture from Brett (I haven't contacted him about it). I also tidied up some of the shortened stories for the Bridge based on things that I've written, and made a few changes to my UROPs that Kathleen pointed out. I should be in at around noon tomorrow, and can work (basically) until I take care of everything that needs to be done.
ReplyDeleteToday I put up posters for Cheryl. I also I started to write the Anna Westin Foundation story for Eating Disorders Week,and did additional research. I set up interviews for this story as well.
