Yesterday (Friday) was the big day for final presentations of the consulting projects for Hydro Intl. We traveled to their headquarters in Clevedon and the 3 teams presented their findings that morning to the President/CEO and 4 of his managers. All of the teams did a FANTASTIC job! I was so proud of everyone. Each team did a huge amount of research on their projects involving stormwater, wastewater, and whole life cost analysis over the past 6-10 months. (Some of the students worked on this in the BUA 605 classs fall semester and everyone worked on the projects over the entire spring semester.) For any MBS faculty reading this, you also would have been very proud of their analysis, their presentation, their depth of knowledge, their crticial thinking and analysis, and the way they backed up every statement with solid research. The clients were similarly impressed!
When the presentations were finished, everyone breathed a huge sigh of relief. After a nice lunch provided by the Hydro people, we returned to Bath where most of us spent the day exploring the beautiful old city.
That evening, everyone gathered on the terrace outside and spent a lovely evening talking, laughing, looking at sme of the pictures. What a great group we have!!!
Today (Saturday, May 22), we had our last tour:
Morning: tour of the Roman Baths; fascinating history with artifacts, models, and explanations. I tripped while walking next to the Baths and almost went in.... luckily no-one from our group was there to witness this rather embarassing moment! Our guide then shared the history of Bath with us on a nice bus tour around the city. some other folks can fill in some details.
Afternoon: Traveled to Stonehenge and learned the history from a great tour guide. He also had us all do the rods to see which of us were witches.... apparently many of us are witches! Take a look at the pictures on phtobucket to see us doing this magic! NJ
