Well we’re back. A New Year means a new semester. I hope all of you had an enjoyable winter
break. I treated mine like just that, a
break. I caught up on some great shows (Mad Men and The Leftovers), read a little bit, and saw a lot of amazing movies
(Wild and Selma being the top 2). I decided
to take only 2 classes this semester after having taken 3 last semester. I don’t want to rush through
the program (and I don’t want 3 classes worth of homework again). I’m taking ‘Budgeting’
with the new professor Mr. Elmer and ‘Research Methods’ with Dr. Lambert. Both classes will definitely benefit me in
the long run, especially research since that’s my job primarily. I’m looking forward to gaining some new
knowledge and skills.
Two weeks into the semester and it’s
been pretty quiet here thus far. Dr.
Olberding has returned to the office from her sabbatical from last
semester. So far I’ve painstakingly reorganized the
Capstone Project and Portfolio shelves, so hopefully nobody comes and messes
them up. I also recently finished up researching
boards of directors/trustees of some local nonprofits for Dr. Ahmed, so if you
need any info on them, I got you.
One final note: The PA Nexus, the program's annual
newsletter, for 2015 has been published!
I worked a loooong time on it, and I’m glad it turned out really well (not
to toot my own horn). You can stop by the MPA office in Founders Hall 424 to
pick up a copy or
to download a pdf version go to http://tinyurl.com/mpanewsletter.
That’s all
until February and thanks for stopping by!
