27th July - Practice track training for the e-portfolio (15th meeting).

 

28th July - Met at the Virgil building to discuss potential ways to increase attendance at the event (16th meeting).

 

Attendance to be lower than expected due to a number of reasons:

• Students do not want to walk for an hour and pay to participate in research…

• Historical links to the Fairfield house might not attract students to come to visit

 

30th July  - hiSTORY at BEMSCA the Fairfield House (17th meeting).

• 32 tickets sold

• The event went without issue.

• Further planning for the bake sale took place. 

1st August – Meeting for the University of Bath School of Management Instagram takeover (18th meeting). We wanted our rollout for this to be authentic and relatable, not professional, people do not go on social media to see anything work-related, we learned this from talking to Stuart at AECOM. Highest engagement from the school of management account in the last.

 

3rd August – Working on the E-portfolio (19th meeting)

 

4th - 8th August – George is in charge of video editing for the hiSTORY event.

 

9th – 16th August – All group members meet every day to finish all the work (20th meeting and more).
