Monday Feb. 9: Spring Fine Arts

Monday was an interesting day.  First we had the staff meeting.  One of the major players in the office had gone on a service trip to Guatemala and was absent from the meeting.  Here I listened to everyone’s project lists-everyone seems very busy!  Even as far as graduation ceremony arrangements were being discussed and it is still a few months away.  I announced that I was working on the press releases for the Spring ’09 Fine Arts Performances coming up.  

After the meeting I started my work.  Most of my time was spent not only writing these press releases but also e-mailing various sources in order to find out information about the artists: what kind of art they produce (photography, paintings etc), what pieces they would be performing (Mozart, Bach, Handel etc), and even where they were from.  I also was not sure what some events were all about.  Getting all the information proved difficult after several forwarded e-mails to people that may or may not have known the information I needed.  Ultimately, I had to wait to hear back from a few people before I could put the finishing touches on the releases.  

Monday I also worked a bit more on my release for the “worthy nominee.”  I also scanned some newspaper articles onto the computer.
