Step 1: Organize all of the information and create a schedule
We cataloged each message, and organized them chronologically and thematically. We established five groups:
Getting Started: the most time-sensitive items and required tasks
Taking Care of Business: billing, rental, and other commercial items
Smart and Successful Living: guidelines on how to make college safe, healthy, productive, and fun
Transitioning to SU: information on residence halls, roommates, and adjusting to college living
Go! Syracuse Welcome: the least time sensitive items, events, and information on Syracuse
We informed contributors where they fit in the schedule, and gave them deadlines to share their content in time for production.
