For the the last project in Foundations Research, the Alumni Hall group chose to create and document a mock meeting, wherein the members would conduct presentations based on non-serious topics while trying to conduct themselves in a serious manner.

The directives were not far off either, though they were not allowed to cause harm to any person or the building, we still had some that proved to be potentially mentally scarring.

The second day was very obviously much more loose in the sense of how we conducted ourselves and our presentations.
