[Imc-tech] Student Projects -- call for proposals.

[Sascha Meinrath]

Hi all,

The Urbana-Champaign IMC will be hosting four groups of students over the 
summer as part of a business writing class at the University of 
Illinois.  The idea as of now is to have interested working groups propose 
ways that students could be utilized on projects that involve writing 
assignments.  Some quickly generated ideas include: outreach flyers to 
different constituencies, monetary fundraising letters, informational 
brochures about the IMC, grant writing, progress reports about different 
IMC programs, and item donation solicitations and thank you letters.  I'm 
sure you can generate many others.

If students choose to work on the project you propose, your working group 
will oversee the students and will be responsible for keeping in contact 
with the teacher of the course.  I oversaw a group of students last 
semester, and it was fairly easy.  I think this is a great way to get some 
extra help with those down-and-dirty heavy person-power projects we've all 
been putting off.

I need to have your ideas ASAP (i.e. by the end of the week) -- it doesn't 
have to be anything formal, just a paragraph about what students could 
do.  The students will probably want to attend your working group meetings, 
so think of this as a good way to recruit folks beyond just the summer 
session.  The only constraint is that it has to be a writing-related 
project.  Finally, please include a contact person for each proposal so 
both the teacher and the students can contact you.

If you have any questions, let me know, and please get these proposals in 
to me as soon as possible (even responding RIGHT NOW with a quick paragraph 
would be GREAT!).

Thanks,

--Sascha
