COM 370-03 Special Topics: Event Planning

We are currently taking a course in event planning where we learn everything about events from start to finish. Our notes outline various theories and concepts pertaining to events. Perhaps the most useful lesson we have learned is the Six Dimensions to the experience- the 6 A's: anticipation, arrival, atmosphere, appetite, activity, and amenities. Based on this lesson, we have planned and structured our own event. After each class we are able to apply what we have learned to what we are working on with our event. We meet as a group at least once a week prior to class and once every other week outside of class in addition to constant emails and text messages. We use these times to brainstorm, create drafts, and execute plans.

Team Intro

Hey everyone,

This is our first blog post as a team for our event planning class. Our event is Hope Cuts run by a local salon who will be donating 100% of their proceeds the day of the event to breast cancer research and support. Our team is made up of 5 junior and senior Communication Studies majors at The College of New Jersey; Caitlin Coyle, Antoinette Gouveia, Lauren Lorenzo, Megan Roe, and Samantha Zebrowski. We are very excited to be working at an event with such a great cause.
