X-Culture: Taking the First Steps

Guest Blogger: Ellis White, Nathan M. Bisk College of Business student

When I heard about the X-culture project I was a little in shock, especially when Dr. Muth announced in class that the end report would be 15-30 pages. After reading through the project handout and realizing that most of the topics/sections of the report I knew how to do I was a little more at ease. One thing that I am happy about is that the project has progress reports. This will keep me and other members on my team (I hope) to stay on task. I normally do not procrastinate but during a busy semester it is very easy to forget about things.

Once the email was sent out with the list of our teammates email addresses I knew it was time to get the ball rolling. But before Ii knew it, I had two emails from two of my team members in Brazil. This was nice to see that there are at least a few people in my group so far that are going to have drive and initiative in making things happen along with myself. Since the issue of our team members email addresses my group has established a mean of communication with two different approaches and seems we are off to a good start.
