Using Capstone Skills in my Professional Life

As both a full-time staff member at UC and a part-time student, I get to enjoy both being a student and working with them. This week, I was lucky enough to utilize my own AVM skills to teach a UC colleague the ropes. We are working on a project for gender-inclusive housing and determined it would be extremely important to target our marketing message. Brandy (my colleague) and I went through the AVM workshop and did our own AVM in regards to the benefits GIH (gender inclusive housing) offers. In two weeks, we will be doing this workshop as a part of QueerCat Pride Week to begin to get feedback from the student population, as well as the staff and faculty, in regards to what is the most important message to convey.

It has been enlightening to take a tool that has been learned so recently, utilize it for my own capstone prject, and then turn around to use it for my professional life too. I LOVE AVM, and better yet, I cannot wait to host my own workshop for staff and students on it regarding GIH at UC.
