Quote of the Day] "To win without risk is to triumph without glory." Soooo busy! Waking up 'early' and getting to work was a challenge, but it was not too bad. Hee hee.
Every time we have an Open House I love chalking up the sidewalks It's super fun. Though it was incredibly hot today. UGH. Overall the day was just..HOT. @.@ Tours. Sweaty. Gross!!! I suppose I should detail some of the day. Welcome session starts off with a bit of light breakfast and then a greeting from our heads of office. We did a short round of introductions, staff, counselors and students. We break up into tours or "explore your major sessions". The explore your major sessions are very helpful for students to get a better idea of what the university has to offer. A professor leads the discussion, giving a lecture that details the progression of the major, what to expect in your first year as a student of the major, and much more! It's a great time to figure out if the major is exactly what you are looking for. We break for some delicious lunch (This time around chicken tenders, three typcs of sandwiches, pasta salad, and brownies for dessert!). Then reverse! We flip for financial aid sessions and another round of tours/explore your major. At the end of the day, the Idea Shop is an optional tour for students and parents to indulge in! We get to show off our awesome center for invention, learning, and innovation. Writeable walls, tons of modeling machines, and a full set of mac computers.
That's a lot of work! Hee hee.
What a day! Thanks for making it out if you did and hope to see you next time if you didn't.
