Special Thanks to MR. WEi at Career Center and Yuki (Yang Yang) at Logistics Department

 

2022. Jan. 06. Stage & Screen Idea: 

CBPM already has a large screen in the Lobby. But it is highly underutilized. 

BRIC outdoor event space can replicate the example of a large screen wall at the space. 

Inside of the Wall, there are implanted devices such as controller, speaker, and A/V facilities. 

 

 

 

 

 

2023. 05. 10: Resubmit: Proposals: Stage Installation for Outdoor Event Space at the CBPM 2nd Floor 

I hope this email finds you well. Earlier today (May 10, 2023), I had the pleasure of running into Mr. **** Wang and Mr. **** Zhou at CBPM 2nd floor while they were hosting guests from Shanghai. During our conversation, Mr. Wang shared with me some exciting developments regarding the advanced facilities available at CBPM, including the Bloomberg lab and the Business Research and Innovation Center (BRIC) indoor and outdoor space.

This conversation brought to mind a proposal I submitted in September 2020 for a "Stage Installation for outdoor events" at the CBPM outdoor event space. It's hard to believe that three years have passed since we last discussed this idea. However, I am pleased to say that we have successfully navigated the challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, thanks to our collective efforts.

I would like to take this opportunity to resubmit my proposal for the "Stage Installation" at the CBPM 2nd floor outdoor event space. As we previously discussed, the space has the potential to host a variety of outdoor events, such as Invited Talks, Ted Talk style speeches, research conferences, donation events, business dinners, luncheons, etiquette education, and small performing arts events. To facilitate these events effectively, we will need to install one or two stages at the space.

I have attached the proposal for your consideration. The estimated cost of the installation is approximately 10,770 RMB, depending on the design and facilities required. The Logistics department's designers and IT experts can assist in implementing the idea, and the space can be utilized by CBPM, CLA, CSMT, and School administrators.

In addition, I would like to encourage the participation of the Liao community and the broader Wenzhou City in educational events at the space. This would demonstrate WKU's commitment to community engagement and its mission of promoting knowledge and cultural exchange.

Thank you for considering this proposal. I am excited about the potential for this project and look forward to working with you to bring it to fruition.
