At 7:00am I was up and at em to get ready for my first day with the Tacoma Sports Commission. The dress code is business casual, which is a change from my everyday wear of jeans and a t-shirt, but it makes me feel professional and rather excited to be a "grown-up". I technically don't have to be to work till 8:30am, but because I do not have a parking pass I have to take the train down town then walk to the office, hence the early wake up. My work days are Monday & Wednesdays from 8:30am-5:00pm and Fridays from 8:30am-1:30pm.
8:30am-10:00am:
Upon my arrival I was introduced to the staff and who I would be working with. I was then showed to my desk and where I'd be stationed. I have my own space tucked away in the corner of the office with a computer and all the office supplies I could ever need. Emily, my supervisor, gave me a brief run through of the assignments I would be working on while at TSSS. Essentially whenever someone asks me to do something I do it. In other words I will be getting my hands dirty in a lot of different assignments, very exciting =).
10:00am-Noon:
During this time I got to sit in on a meeting about the "Let's Play" event that will be hosted in the Tacoma Dome onJanuary 2013. This meeting was an introductory to the event. The staff had went over the objectives, goals, marketing, budget, layout and basically built the foundation for the event before working on it. As I sat there and listened to everyone collaborate and bring forth their ideas, I couldn't help but flash back to Tiffin and how all my management and marketing courses we did the same exact thing prior to a project. This was exactly what I learned in school, but for an actual event!
After the meeting I took a lunch break in the semi decent break room. We get 30min for lunch, but most people in the office seem to either use less time or eat at their desk and continue to work.
1:00pm-5:00pm:
I spent the rest of my afternoon researching information on upcoming sporting events within in the NW region, formatted and created a weekly social media update that i'll turn into the head of marketing every Monday, and looked up the weather on Wednesday for the president (this was a funny office joke).
For the remainder of my internship ill be doing small assignments/research here and there for those that need it along with small tasks like filing, making copies, dropping off flyers ect. My main "projects" will be to help design and structure the internship program and work on the Rainier Lacrosse Tournament.
