Visions tasks 1*27

Week 2 of spring semester proved to be another busy yet accomplished one.  One of the first orders on the agenda was sending Ben an updated bio for the website. 

I spent about 4-5 hours watching and scoring films 1- 17.  I had already completed watching 16 and 17 before the memo went out that we could now watch the original choices.  Thats ok :) just puts me ahead for next week.

A large part of this week was spent organizing the main visions calendar on our google account.  Now everything is organized and viewable online in a calendar format.  I also added to the syllabus so some of the more firm dates can be in the syllabus for next year.  This helps me become more organized with the class.

I am meeting with Shannon Monday so about an hour was spent re-familiarizing myself with the budget.  Also I am adding to our "class donations budget,"  (a reminder that $25 is due to me Tuesday.) Once I get this money we will figure out a good banking option for Visions.  I am hoping to set up an off campus bank account for Visions.

My plan is to have our ARAMARK catering locked in by next Tuesday so I have had brief discussions with Kristin at ARAMARK in hopes that we will get more donated so that we can have more money for our guests!

Visions 3

In attempt to keep up with the Visions Film Festival and Conference,  I will be keeping track of my tasks in preparation for the upcoming Festival.  Each week, a short job synopsis/timeline will be posted, which will effectively help me organize the tasks associated with being the Assistant Director over events, travel, and hospitality.

I concentrated a majority of my time over winter break on organizing and creating a new budget for Visions in Excel.  The cells are now formatted correctly so they will automatically add/deduct/multiply any numbers when entered.  It is my hope that this document can be used for the upcoming Visions classes.

The past two weeks have been spent coordinating a syllabus for my team, and setting dates to work with.  The AD's sat down via skype and worked out calendar logistics, so that we have a working timeline that fits with all departments. Our team also met with Jon to go over his sponsorship proposal.  We discussed calendar changes as a department and are completing a master calendar to follow.

I have been in contact with Cindy from CFVF to coordinate the tour that Visions will be taking to Greensboro.  More details to come.  I also met with Kristin Shelton (ARAMARK) to discuss catering options for the day of.

Apart from that I spent last Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday reading and scoring abstracts.  I also met with Will to help him fold letters to mail out.
