Friday's Fun Fact

Today is a pretty quiet day at work... (Thanks for coming, Vernita.) Well, Fun fact of today: On this day in 1823, slavery was abolished in Chile. In comparison, slavery in the United States lasted until 1865 - when the Thirteenth Amendment was passed.

Moving on... In regards to Meredith's question this week, I think there were ways that Emsavina could have been approached differently. For exmaple, in BUSN102, we had a project called Mike's Bikes, which was a business simulation. Every group had approximately five members, and each member was given a "title," (i.e. CEO, CFO, COO, CMO, etc.) which became their main role in the project. I feel like everyone sort of has their unofficial role in Emsavina (on the Responsibility Sheet handed out), but that little scenario would have been interesting... For the most part, we make all our projects a 100% collaborative effort. I think when an organization becomes larger and more products and businesses are added, a franchise approach definitely makes sense. I recently joined an organization at school called the Drexel Entrepreneruship Association, and we are currently restructuring it. This includes core goals and product owners... quite similar to SHM's, which I thought was interesting. There are definitely challenges in members recognizing these changes and having prospective members become aware of these changes. With the help of our VP of Marketing and a lot of teamwork, we plan on expanding our network and having a diverse group of students come together. Here's some exciting news... Emily Woods plans on joining! Jump on the wagon, Sam and Meredith.

Happy weekend, everyone! :)
