Week 6, Day 4
Happy Thursday and welcome to the sixth week of the program! We are getting closer to the final review and publishing stage, we hope that you’re all having a smooth transition from research into the drafting. This week you’ll be continuing your respective projects, beginning outlining and drafting of the project and hopefully wrap up any interviews you scheduled! We’re super excited to hear about the progress you guys are making and are always here as a resource!
This week we’ll be giving you guys more time with projects and is going to be heavier with content and meetings. Thank you all for a wonderful discussion on both League of Denial and Concussion (2015)! We hope you all enjoyed the films and gathered new understanding of the NFL’s power and discovery of CTE. We will continue the week with another discussion on the first couple of chapters of A Delicate Game by Hana-Walker Brown on Friday 7/22 at 10am PST, 12pm CST, 1pm EST.
Your PM’s will also reach out with each partner project individually to set-up meetings times to check-in and review progress or if there’s any questions!
Andy will also reach out to each of you individually per week to create social media pages for the Concussion Alliance Twitter page!
