I am working on The Rain Project with the project creator, Dr.
Ahn. The Rain Project is a multi-disciplinary project tasked with raising
awareness of storm water issues for the mason community. Students and faculty
from science, engineering, arts, and the humanities will design and implement
green infrastructure on the campus. The project involves building a floating
wetland over a year period to improve water quality and storm water management
in Mason ponds. Also, through our
speaker series we gather an on and off campus community to learn and share the
experience and knowledge of wise management of storm water. Keynote speakers include
eco-artists, scientist, water resource engineers, and local organizations.
On a weekly basis, I meet with Dr. Ahn, set up a plan of action for the future, and implement the plan. This includes editing the website, sending out reminders for guest speakers, and increasing over all awareness of the project. I maintain a line of connection between the students and Dr. Ahn and I handle essential communications to the group. Additionally, just before we have a speaker I setup the event rooms and get all the necessary technology ready. The preparation ensure that the events have little headache.
