| Success rating (1 = unsuccesful, 5 = very successful) |
5 |
| Lessons/suggestions | Great event with minimal preparation/work. The students/presenters from Harvard pay for the food, have the whole presentation set up. All that needs to be done is book a room and show them where to go. They were great, and people were really appreciative of what they presented (more 3rd and 4th years attended this event than ALL school events combined for the whole year). |
| ADDITIONAL COMMENTS | |
| Comments | Great service to students, minimal work for chapter officers, a total hit! Contact Russ rwhelan@aecom.yu.edu if you have any questions. |
