writing/proposal
RecommendationsI would strongly recommend planning the lunch from one p.m. to two p.m.Further, I would suggest concluding the day at five p.m. like last year as otherwise a late ending might arouse criticism.Furthermore it might be advisable to invite two more speakers and reduce the time available for each guest.Finally, if you would renounce on the idea to separate students, each of them would have more opportunities to get in touch with representatives
