Changing Gears

December 28, 2010

2010 – In short, it brought some of the greatest transitions I never expected, and opportunities to match.  I lived in Rhode Island, Ohio, and now reside in Texas.  I finished my Senior year at Roger Williams University, became an intern at Baldwin-Wallace College, and started my graduate studies at Texas A&M University. I started [...]

After almost 2 months in Ohio at my NODA internship, there are a few things that I have learned from the experience, or at least entered into my own path of self discovery. And while I debrief, and get ready for a Texas roadtrip and a new adventure to begin, my nostalgia provoked the below [...]

Baldwin-Wallace College: Week Eight

SMART Goals July 27, 2010

Orientation Session 2 quickly approached, and we began to prepare. With one Orientation under my belt I felt more comfortable with the schedule and the logistics to make it work, but the nerves rose nonetheless. Short on our ‘Leadership Team,’ I had the opportunity to take a more active role in contacting multiple departments on [...]

To say the least, my blogging has been negligent recently. The end of the summer and 2 back to back Orientations appears to be wearing on me, but I’m determined to finish out recapping my experiences, even for at a lack of timeliness. Good thing I have some notes and a decent memory to take [...]

A little late on posting this week, my usual post schedule altered by an Admissions event on Friday that essentially started the weekend ‘early,’ even though I didn’t actually leave the office until after 8 pm. First thought might be questioning work/life balance, but it’s hard to leave when you like the people you’re working with, especially when those ‘extra hours’ aren’t exactly spent working, but hanging out with students and ‘playing.’

The calm after the storm. Orientation session 1 is complete, and I had a chance to process things and reflect on my experience. More importantly in the bigger picture, however, is that I was able to evaluate the data related to the Orientation program, look for trends, act as the voice of the students and [...]

Baldwin-Wallace College: Week Four

I can’t help but take a moment and reflect on the fact that I survived this week. If there were ever a time for a ‘Game Face’ in this internship, this was it. Prep for the first round of Orientation: getting keys, registration, advising appointments, and room assignments settled (truly this was the work of [...]

Baldwin-Wallace College: College Profile & Background

Thumbnail image for Baldwin-Wallace College: College Profile & Background June 27, 2010

This post is definitely a long time coming, but to best understand my experience, some background information on Baldwin-Wallace College and the Orientation program itself immediately become relevant. Realizing that I neglected this background at the initial creation of my blog, it felt only natural to acknowledge and explain it before examining my first experiences [...]

I can hardly believe that another week has already come and gone. Even more so, it’s incredible to think about the fact that Orientation training is this week, and Orientation sessions begin immediately thereafter! I am starting to realize my role within the program itself, having set goals and no longer limited to the ‘behind [...]
