Rhodec ASID Student Chapter Online Educational Symposium

Take a team of students that live in different countries, mix in some determination and creativity, along with a little madness and hundreds of emails and online chats, and the results are almost unbelievable!

This is how it's been for a small group of students working together from the Rhodec Student Chapter of ASID, (RASC), who have formed a team to organize the 2007 Online Educational Symposium.

The first Symposium was created by a different group of RASC students and was held on World Design Day in April, 2005.

The success of that event led this year's team to once again, take on the challenge.

"Luckily for us, the first team did an excellent job at utilizing the internet and record keeping - helping us to avoid some of the hurdles they faced."

But that doesn't mean this team hasn't had its own share of obstacles to overcome!

This year's symposium team members live in 3 different countries and have never met each other - but that hasn't stopped them from getting things done!

"When you work on a project of this magnitude, you have to learn to accept each other's differences and learn to work as a team - both of which are very important skills in the Interior Design Field.

Because we all live in different time zones, this has given us an advantage: we literally work around the clock.
