Photography Interest Group Interests Survey
I joined the UCSD Photography Interest Group in 2019 when I retired from UCSD-SIO. When I first joined, we’d meet on campus but the pandemic changed everything. I put together this survey to find out what the members of the group are most interested in. We haven’t discussed much except day-to-day things like travel plans and sharing our photos. But I am curious if there is more we can do as a group, in addition to sharing our photos.
Meet-up Location Survey
The pandemic changed the format of our monthly meetings and meet-ups. I am curious if people want to maintain the current monthly Zoom meeting format or are ready for more. For me, the Zoom meetings are a great way to get-together that doesn’t require I drive somewhere. But I enjoy our in-person get-togethers and want to plan some meet-ups and outings.
