Day #7 First Online Conference via Zoom

MAR 19 Thu / INTERNSHIP JOURNAL : First Online Conference via Zoom

Because of crisis of Covid 19, schools and companies are switching to distance work/class. Office of image and visual communications also had a meeting on Zoom to figure things out.

We discussed working remotely and decided interns will check in and out via email. We also discussed what the problems are having online classes, and what students need.

Professor Vargas told us that we will drop the new building and fitness center promotion project and most likely we’ll be making thumbnails to guide City Tech student through Social media account.
