One thing I feel the need to point out is that JetBlue's problems were NOT the storms that occured in february. STorms happen all the time and airlines cancel flights with such frequency that im beginning to think that that only certain things in life are road construction in Chicago, flight cancelations, taxes and death. WHat essentially kills JetBlue is that they had to keep canceling flights due to what their CEO calls a "communications crisis". In other words, they couldnt communicate with pilots and stewardesses (i am NOT calling them flight attendants) to update them on new plans.

I have a word document for all the press releases that I write, just for consistency in form, so if anyone is interested, please let me know and I'll email the template.

For my brochure I found how to build and install a rain barrel also, how to install a rain garden. These can be found at this link:

This is my final corporate project

There are many theories that support the benefits of group projects. As a matter of fact, in Krannert, almost all classes have huge group projects that are supposed to teach us about the real world. Recruiters, often ask you question about experiences working in groups, yet, I believe group projects to be unrealistic, complicated and contra productive. In a long distance course this can be even more complex. To start with, we don’t have a meeting place other than a virtual chat or post, time differences with different schedule and activities can add to the complexity.

Because this project is not built around topics relevant to your majors, I have grouped students randomly based on their position in the Drupal users list. I will email each group to initiate contact between members. The groups are listed below:

The sample press releases were very helpful in writing my press release. In chapter 36, Concise sentencing, concise sentencing means making every word count. I learned that cutting empty words and phrases out is a good form of revision. Condensing phrases into single words and elimination redundancy is a good was to clean up one's work. In combining sentences I learned how to reformat sentences to work more smoothly. In chosing strong verbs I was amazed by the process of moving verbs to make them stronger. From the Purdue Owl, the goals were to use the most effective words.

Attached find my final corporate communication project.

Would really appreciate some feedback!
