Our public diplomacy group decided to so something different. Instead of spending our efforts on something that would only be presented in class, we decided to run with something that will hopefully make an impression on the Emerson community and be worth more than just a grade on our transcripts.
Inspired by other college advocacy groups, we have decided to create an Emerson chapter of the group ONE, a public diplomacy-based group that mainly focuses on poverty and disease rampant in Africa but also responds to crises and immediate response needs. We have so many ideas running through our minds that have yet to decide on a focus for our first project and also our launch into the Emerson community. We are almost too excited for this that we don’t know where to begin–maybe Dr. Payne (our official advisor!) will help us focus our energy and be super concentrated and productive on one idea instead of being spread thin over ten or more. Enthusiasm is great, but not always the most efficient from of energy. But we’re working on it!
