Senior Project Day 5

 5/14/21

Entry #5

Today I started a little earlier than normal since I got some Dunkin for breakfast (BEC on an everything bagel <3). I knew right away that today was gonna be a lot more productive than yesterday. I checked the survey one last time and sent Heidi a webex about the numbers. Then I checked to see if Dartmouth had emailed back and they did! They’re 100% on board with the concentration and having seminars on campus. They did bring up a good point about who would be the main communication point would be. I still haven’t really thought about who is gonna be the faculty advisor for the concentration. I was thinking about Heidi or Amy.

About halfway through my working time I decided to go and work outside in my hammock because the weather was perfect for it.

While I was outside I was taking a look at some volunteering and shadowing opportunities for students at New London Hospital and also began planning out some of the seminars that would be by Dartmouth. The main one that I really liked was the one on mental health and illness. The seminar would include how to recognize mental health issues and illnesses, how the person can be helped and who you can go to when you discover it.


Hours done today: 4 hours and 5 mins

Total hours: 20 hours and 15 mins

Senior Project Day 1

                                                                 5/10/21 Entry #1 This is my first senior project blog post! For those who don’t know what I am doing for my senior project I am creating a new academic concentration for students who are interested in the medical field. I’m super pumped for it because I know so many other students who are interested in the medical field but didn’t want to do the other concentrations available.  Anyways, the first half of my day was dedicated to drafting up my overview for the concentration and getting the required classes. Before I started typing up my draft, I took a look at the existing concentration’s overviews and based mine on those. Next up was choosing the required classes for the concentration. I already had a bit of a plan when it cam...

Senior Project Day 2

  5/11/21 Entry #2 Day two of senior project began with the first half of the day being focused on the topics of the capstone project and contacting local health care centers about students being able to shadow there. The first thing I did was email Diane about being able to take a couple of students for shadow hours. The next thing I did was email my connection at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Workforce Readiness Institute about shadow hours as well as doing the once-a-trimester seminars that would be open to all who are interested. For those who are interested in learning more about DHWRI I'll include a link down below. I also worked on my competencies more on the checklist because some of them weren’t as applicable for students doing more STEM focused medical studies.  (Workspace of the day). The second half of my day I spent on campus working outside on the turf. At first it was very sunny, then got windy and cloudy. I still stayed outside though. I was very focused on editing my ov...

Senior Project Day 13

  5/24/21 Entry #13 Just to preface for hours, I did about an hour and a half on Sunday since I needed to get my weekly reflection done and I needed to start my self evaluation paper. Today started off around the same time as the past two weeks. I continued to work on my self evaluation paper until about 11:30 since we had senior seminar. After that I headed off to campus to do a check in with Amy and have her sign all the papers that she needed too. I then met up with Heidi to make sure everything was tip top shape, she recommended I go to Tom too before I present it on Wednesday. I did get some pamphlets and concentration enrollment papers for students who are interested in signing up. I then finished up my paper in the library. I’m going to definitely look at it again tomorrow to make sure it looks perfect. In the evening I spent about another hour doing work with Tom to be sure everything was tip top before Wednesday. Total hours for Sunday: 1 hour and 30 mins Total hours for t...
