The 5 group members and educator that made this event possible.
This two semester project was the most valuable learning experience I have had in my JMU career. Starting in Spring, 2015 myself and a team of five other woman began to plan an event for 120+ guests. We chose the theme "Down the Rabbit Hole," and had to plan decor, food service, and budget accordingly. We contracted out a menu with Aramark, purchased all the necessary items to match the room to the theme, and managed a team of over 50 staff on the day of. The event was excuted on October 18th, 2015 as a 1-3pm brunch event, and watching it come together is a memory I'll never forget.
