Community Outreach Director

Fall 2008
Alice Bradley '11/
Sam Welch '10 (programmer- former position that included organizing all programming for the SLC- i.e. WND, workshops, fun events, etc.)
Matt Cloyd '11 (programmer)

Job In General

Plan, organize and put on events that enhance the mission of the SLC within the house, the campus and the community. Come up with ways to expand the SLC’s outreach to the rest of campus and community (e.g. co-sponsoring events).Organize at least two workshops, field trips and/or lectures per term.

What I Did

        Some events from Fall '08:
                    Grand Opening Event
                                Guest Speaker Tom Wessels, Speeches by President Wright and Kathy Lambert, local snacks, reception and tour of the house following speeches, invite-only local dinner to finish.
                     Workshops
                                 Once this term, Scott Stokoe helped to put on a workshop aimed at helping students create their own worm bins. There is much potential to do more with this here.
                     Other
                                 Lunches scheduled with professors and their classes, tours organized for visiting groups, and special speaker receptions in the kitchen (Terry Tempest Williams)

Things We Wish We Had Known
THINK about the outcome from each event planned: What will be changed because of this? How much of an effect will this have on the students/campus/community? Is there any way to make those changes more pronounced? 
 

Direction We Envision
We need to hold MORE WORKSHOPS. They are probably the most bang-for-your-buck as far as instituting change, and will make for the most useful events. (The idea was thrown out there to combine the WND's and workshops-possibly alternating every other week. Ie: One week a professor lectures to the group, the next a member of the community shows them how to insulate windows.)
