Today was a bittersweet moment – our last day at FHI 360, which is incredibly sad, but also one of our last days of school, which is not as incredibly sad (ask Krishna, RJ, or Chiara – I need sleep). I’m writing this at 10:30 because our Work Experience has officially finished!
We spent the morning at the CTID Monthly Team Meeting with the ENTIRE department, (a couple there by phone) where Dr. Dorflinger gave a quick update, Kate Rademacher gave an announcement, and, finally, we gave the YTH project presentation. I’ve discussed it a little bit, but, again, we chose to utilize Instagram as a way to both educate the public through the posts, as well as hear comments and opinions through polls and live question and answer sessions. The first couple of slides discuss our marketing plan, in which we hypothetically pair up with Swell(TM) to gain traction and increase our follower count, as well as support developing countries who are struggling with water sanitation or water scarcity. The group loved it, and suggested we look into doing it as our Senior Capstone! I’m really excited to look into that!
All in all, an awesome experience! Not sure I would be able to count the number of times we commented about how lucky we were over these two weeks, but it probably wasn’t enough.
