Briefly describe the major project (one paragraph):

To date, our website for Friends of MHMM Foundation is almost complete. Today we met with the board members for the 3rd time for feedback on the site as is. Although the year is almost out, we were able to get the necessary feedback from the board members and have a handful of revisions to work on. Upon completion of this, the website should be up and running by the end of the school year.


List at least three things that went well:
  1. Networking with community members 
  2. Improving interviewing & communication skills, and developing a better understanding of work ethic. 
  3. New technology/software skills
List down any “surprises” or something that you were not expecting (positive, neutral, or negative). 

When we started, we knew we would be assisting a community organization; Having identified Friends of MHMM Foundation has left our students “truly grateful to help a foundation that helps my alma mater to a great extent”.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:  (OPTIONAL)
Throughout this project I was able to create many connections with the foundation that provides opportunity upon opportunity for our school community. I was faced with the challenge of finding information that was buried and recorded poorly. I was able to resolve it by producing interviews and using my knowledge of research to its fullest potential. This website taught me great skills of work ethic and communication. Working with new types of software brightened my technology use. I am truly grateful to help a foundation that helps my alma mater to a great extent
