In October of 2015 Professor Kitlinski’s writing composition class had one thing on their mind: survive against the undead. They came together to form a society that functioned as a well-oiled machine. A key factor in this machine was to not only learn from their mistakes, but learn from other society’s mistakes. Communication and social media specialist, Niana Pallatt, fulfilled her role as a link between the North Paseo Building community and outside UTSA which was necessary to gather information in order to better their society. However, one can’t just jump into a role that large. It took careful research of the profession and the current situation to work for the betterment of their civilization.

Pallatt also found this article resourceful because you see in her social media sites she is organized and intentional just as Bullas says.
