Week 2, Day 5

Happy Friday everyone! This week you’ll get a chance to take your science writing knowledge and newfound concussion knowledge and apply them to your newsletter work, while building on the learning from last week.

What a super productive and enjoyable day we all had together! Dr. Nick Reed and everyone in the zoom was able to voice their thoughts and opinions and the conversation went smoothly. We’ve officially begun the primary part of the projects, make sure to finish the Initiation and Planning Stage by your respective timeline dates. Next on Friday 6/24, we’ll officially begin the primary part of your internship – projects!

For tomorrow, we’ll be having our Concussion Alliance program check-in as well as our weekly social hour that will consist of creating tier lists and rankings for fast foods, condiments, drinks, etc.
