'DEIS Impacters - the core organizing committee for the annual 'DEIS Impact festival
What do 'DEIS Impacters do?
'DEIS Impacters were responsible for outreach to certain clubs, departments, etc., encouraging them to plan events during 'DEIS Impact. As a group, they made recommendations about which proposals will be part of 'DEIS Impact and made funding recommendations. They served as liaisons to events, working with the club, department or individual organizers to finalize details and plan effective publicity. They were the introducers at the event, and put the event in context of the week. As a group, they worked on assessment of participant learnings during the week, as well as documentation (photos, summaries, quotes from speakers and audience members), and follow up.
