This week could be coined the beginning of the end…the end of the spring semester, that is. I’m slowly working on my proposal for my senior project and mapping out my strategy and timetable for it. Tentatively, I am thinking I will work in cooperation with the athletic department here at Westminster in order to market and promote the sports teams. I’m hoping to gain many connections from the athletic department through doing this project. By deciding on this choice for my project, I have come to a realization that I would like to put all my efforts into pursuing sports marketing. I understand it’s a general term, because there are so many facets of sports (high school, college, and professional) but I think it’s a great starting place for me. I have an immense love for sports, so it would be something I could really enjoy, no matter where I ended up. My internship will also help me to make connections and, perhaps, narrow down the area of expertise I choose to pursue. At the moment, working with Westminster will be a great experience. The school has a wealth of athletic talent for only being a Division III school. It will be a great introduction to sports marketing and give me insight for planning for my future profession.
As far as mapping out my project, I’m thinking Prof. Weaver’s assignment of creating a calendar of daily or weekly goals and assignments we have will be the best way to keep organized and on top of things. I’m working on my rough version of my calendar as I write this. I’m hard at work jotting down what I will do each week, such as blog and help with The County Line, and what contacts I have to make. One of my main objectives is to keep in good contact with the people that I will be seeing on a regular basis. There is nothing more important than communication, especially when it comes to something as serious as my senior project. I want to ensure that everything I complete is up to their standards. Another important thing to document in my calendar will be how much of my project will I undertake in a week. I would like to dedicate as much time as I can on a weekly basis to my project. This will require scheduling around other classes, events, and meetings. I really believe that this calendar will be an excellent tool in scheduling and keeping up to date with my senior project. I’m also thinking that this project, while challenging, will be a true testament to what I have learned here as a Broadcast Communications major and what I can contribute to a career when I graduate. It’s really going to be interesting to see how this project works out. I’m off to a good start I think, with working out the details in my mind. Now, all I have to do is get a formal plan ready and in the works. I think once I start putting more of my thoughts and ideas on paper this project is going to be full speed ahead.
