Milestone 2: October 26
Milestone Goals: By October 26th the interviews should be completed and uploaded to the website
- Interviewing students will be the easy part because we are going to interview people we know
- Interviewing community members might be harder because it will involve more scheduling and taking the time to find people who will want to be interviewed.
- The interview workload will be split in half. Tyler will interview around 3 students/faculty and Erin will interview 3 students/faculty. Any community member interviews can be done together
- Interviews will be asked to share their experiences of either how they remembered Pumpkin Fest in the past, the riot incident, or how they’ve seen resolution come out of the conflict
- One or two staff members will be asked to discuss their opinion on the subject and give their point of view
- Michael Antonucci will be interviewed on his opinion on how the media reaction to the riot is reflective of the double standards
