1. The Next Generation of College Applications
College applications are always a stress factor for seniors
in high school, trying to get into their top schools. Recently, one high school
senior applied to UMD by sending in a video of his Maryland related lyrics to
Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours.” How many students find provocative and new ways to
stand out during this application process? I can do man on the street video
interviews of college freshman and ask them what they did to make their
applications stand out. As an expert
source, I can interview a few people who work in the admissions office to see
what they are looking for and hear about some of the interesting applications
they have received. I can take pictures or video of the admissions building and
the UMD application as well.
2. The New Book Exchange
Everyone on campus knows that where the Maryland Book
Exchange once was, is now a big hole in the ground. However, what a lot of
people haven’t noticed is that the Book Exchange has moved to a much smaller
location on Knox Rd. near CP Ship and Mail. I could interview workers at the
Book Exchange and see how the move has affected the store’s popularity. I could
have them explain whether or not a lot of students still come to the store and
what is different about this store versus the old one. I could also do man on
the street interviews for students to see if they know the Book Exchange has
reopened and moved and if they like the new store. I could take videos and
pictures of the new store and where the old one used to be.
