MS Project Assignment

For this assignment, you will use Microsoft Project to set up a project for students to start up a club. The WIT club will be called the Cheese Club. The Cheese Club will be a chapter of the international La Fromage Society (LFS) organization. WIT requires a faculty advisor for all campus clubs. LFS requires a faculty sponsor. Professor Silverberg has graciously decided to serve as both the faculty advisor and faculty sponsor.

The project will start on Monday, February 4^th. Make sure to set the overallocation setting to MANUAL (not automatic!) If resources are overallocated (red people in the Indicators column), leave them overallocated.
