Day of Action Project

For our AMCS Day of Action project I made ribbons to pass out on the actual day to
promote diversity and support AMCS on campus. I, along with Amy, Lisa, and Elyse,
bought the spray paint, the shirts, and other materials and decorated all the shirts
for the class to wear on the Day of Action. On the Day of Action I was handing out
ribbons and candy and telling students and staff that passed by to support diversity
and AMCS.


I believe that we got our message through to students because we gave out
around 200 ribbons to fellow students and staff for them to wear and support
diversity and AMCS, and people actually put them on and contributed to our cause.
Many people stopped at our booth where they saw facts and information and we
talked to them about AMCS and what our goals were. It is important for AMCS to be
exposed to the students so that they are more aware of what the major is about. By
doing our day of action we just took a step forward in getting awareness out to the
school population and promoting multiculturalism.


The newsletter is a second step in promoting AMCS to the school and helping the AMCS
majors to see what opportunities are out there for them. Listing possible careers
and internships really provides assistance to students who may not know what to do
with their major. For the newsletter I was responsible for the Careers/Internships
portion and I provided a list of internships that were available with the contact
information so that the students would have all the necessary information to start
getting involved.
