Happy New School Year!

Well happy new school year!  Yes I’m still the GA so I’ll be updating the blog once a month again.  

There’s a lot that’s new this year, and then there’s a lot that’s not. 

Today (August 31) is Beth’s last day before retirement! She's helped all of us so much, she deserves the time off.  We’ll all miss her a bunch, and it’ll definitely be weird without her.  

Tomorrow (Sept.1) our new coordinator starts, Missy Gish.  Fun fact, we’ve known each other a very long time; she used to be my babysitter!  So we should work well together since we already have a rapport.  She’ll fit right in and keep the program going strong, so stop by and welcome her to department!

This semester I’m taking Data Analysis, Leading in Diverse Public Environments, and Grants Writing.  All three should be extremely beneficial to whatever career path I decide to take. 

I have officially become an usher at the Aronoff Center, so that’s exciting!  I figured since volunteerism and nonprofits are part of the program, I should volunteer and experience it all firsthand.  It should be a lot of fun working all the big shows, so if any of you attend a performance, keep an eye out for me! I recommend anyone else in the program to try and volunteer as well; you can make some great connections which could help you later.

Not much else to report today, just thought I’d give you guys a few brief bullet points about myself and the program. 

Thanks again for reading!
