Today was bittersweet, being my last official day of “school” and the beginning of summer as well as several goodbyes. We had a half hour at the beginning of the morning to prepare ourselves for the presentation. Then, our group, as well as the CTI Department, all met together in the conference room. They first went over their agenda and a few other members who work from home also connected by calling. We then presented our idea for the social media project– an Instagram page focused on water access and scarcity. We discussed partnerships, marketing strategies, post content, live stories, and polling. Overall, everyone seemed very impressed! I personally explained three different types of posts that were inspired by other popular accounts: current events like National Geographic, personal stories like Humans of New York, and informational maps like the many trending map accounts. We even made an Instagram for the presentation called water.wellness so that we could demonstrate the features and make real posts. Some faculty members even followed the account! After a few goodbyes, chicken minis, and gifts, the four of us went to Starbucks and said our final goodbyes. We were only at FHI today for about two hours and now I am catching a flight to Europe! I had a great time at FHI360 and am happy to say that I learned a lot about this organization as well as myself and where I see myself in the future.
