Great Turnout

Over the weekend our group, Prestige Worldwide, hosted our Service Learning Project.  It was a nice day out for the event as well as a great turnout.  The even ran very smooth and our final winner was team Ben & Amnie. They asserted their dominance early on while running through the rounds in the winners bracket and followed up that success by beating the winner of the losers bracket in the last game by two points.  It was very close.  Though we had a great turnout and overall great event we still ran into a few problems.  The largest of which was bad timing with the campus wide volunteer event Boiler Blast.  Once we changed our starting time to 3pm we were back on track.

I think the largest reason the event was a success was due to the crisis planning COM 320 introduced us to.  I know it is not as serious as what we were introduced to, but the same principals apply.  We encountered an unforeseen complication in our plan and were forced to make a quick group decisions regarding our short term plan of action.  As we did not plan for Boiler Blast to be at the same time as our event we chose to change our schedule and notify each participant of the change.  While our crisis wasn't near the magnitude of what we went over in class the basic principals still applied.
