Posting flyers throughout Winchester
∗ A lot of our meeting time was spent going to different businesses & organizations around the city of Winchester and posting flyers
∗ Everyone was more than willing to help spread the word and really liked our cause
Working with President Fitzsimmons
∗ Having worked with the Choose Civility team last semester, we contacted President Fitzsimmons in hopes that she would help us spread the word around campus
Engaging with students ∗ We all felt that one-on-one
interaction with students would be one of the best ways to help spread awareness
∗ When asked, most students could figure out the meaning of “Choose Civility” but could not say they practice it
Some of the difficulties our team faced:
∗ 1. Communication between members ∗ 2. Loss of Team member
Difficulties
1. With our team with being busy with work, sports, and other projects. We found it difficult to meet.
∗ What we did instead of working together in person, was that we all met after class and broke up tasks that needed to be done.
∗ This was an easy transition for our team because communicating via email and text message was the easiest solution.
How we responded
2. With the loss of a team member this meant the rest of us needed to pick up the slack.
∗ Although this was a setback for our team, we worked together and were capable of completing the tasks at hand.
