For our final project together, John and I were tasked with developing a “quest” surrounding his team or himself. To be honest, we were both stumped on what we could do for the Tides or within his career. His days as the director of communication are fairly busy and accomplish a variety of tasks in…
Final Thoughts
For ODU Esports, I was a part of the social media audit and the signage and posters group. For the social media audit, we viewed what was working, is not working, and what things to improve on for the ODU Esports’ social media pages. This was my favorite section between the two roles I assumed…
