This post is from Jaimes, one of UMass Lowell's Strategic Management students.Jaimes writes: "Thank you very much for taking time out of your schedule to come in to our Strategic Management class last Thursday. Your critique of our video (to make sure there are people in the background) really helped us. We certainly are much better off having learned from your insights. I hope to possibly see you again."
My pleasure, Jaimes.
One of the purposes of the videos these students are creating is to show potential students that a community -- a "belonging" -- exists at UMass Lowell. An easy way to show this is to have people doing something in the background of their videos. This background action shouldn't be distracting, only demonstrative. For example, have people walking in groups, laughing, smiling, or talking intently yet in a friendly way. "Belonging" and a sense of community stem from people believing they're providing worth to the community.
Nicely done, Jaimes.
