Week 8: Message Strategies

Today's in class example from CDCynergy really matched what I am doing at work. My work is a bit frustrating at this point. I designed a perfectly lovely Women's Health payroll stuffer. But my boss' boss' boss'... no diggy. So it's back to the drawing board. I thought I had this health communications thing down. Should I really be telling "Shakti Rising" how to better advertise for volunteers? Good thing I'm part of a group on the latter project. As for my payroll stuffer- well, maybe I needed to be tossed down a few pegs. I'm going to look into the CDCynergy stuff a little closer. Anything can help at this point cause I've hit a wall!

Speaking of work, I will be helping with a fluoride/varnish dental clinic for Share the Care on Saturday. It's nice to work in the field sometimes!

Another thing that struck me in class was a "mad lib" style motivation/audience centering exercise. Here it is:

If I do instead if I will because .

So let's apply this:

If I actually work on writing my comprehensive exam paper instead of continuing to procrastinate, I will survive grad school in one piece because I will be able to graduate in December.

Or something like that. Still a little fuzzy on the support info part. Maybe this will work if I paste it on my mirror?
Blech.
