The facilities project completion = Shelby Ramirez a lot more happy! The facilities project was a tough experience, but beneficial. It was hard to believe how much planning goes into one single Festival, and what aspects need to be considered. I would never want to plan an actual Festival myself. After doing several hours and days of research on Charlotte, NC though, I believe Charlotte is a place I would like to visit, and possibly live someday. Charlotte does have A LOT!
Though I am fairly certain I will not be going into any job that has to deal with Facilities as the primary focus of the job, as we’ve learned throughout this class and our internships – athletics is all encompassing. The more knowledge you have or just even awareness of other departments and how the ICA works as whole is beneficial. This is one theme that has emerged across all courses and in the actual work field.
I’ve learned that when it comes to the handling of facilities and running of events I am better equipped as a follower than a leader. I don’t have as much confidence in my ability to plan the use of facilitations at this point, but believe that I could handle staffing a home competition. As I did with the Husky Hall of Fame in October, I also feel very confident in my ability to assist the planning of a huge school event, thanks to my internship.
Hi Shelby - glad to hear you are on the happy side now! You should be proud of your accomplishments. It is a big project.
ReplyDeleteYour ability to identify the takeaways from challenges like this and how you'll implement them later is an important skill.
I'm looking forward to your comments for other classes as the year continues.
