Rules of Engagement

Last Monday- April 14th- I walked into the poster contest and stood proudly by our class poster about Rules of Engagement. The board portrayed a timeline from last semester's Mayor's Institute class to the classwork done this semester through Denmark, SC. We included pictures from the communities in SC that each group helped with, as well as the Mayor's colloquium in Charleston. I think our board was original in design, especially Aaron's idea to illustrate those students within Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and City and Regional Planning, as well as the projects each student participated in. The class worked well in designing and creating the board display. I found that many people were interested in the class itself and what exactly which cities we were involved in. A few professors seemed impressed with the continuous work we have done, and I found it rewarding to explain what community development entails and the steps that take place to gain public participation and awareness about local issues.
