Working in the Student Involvement Office

I realized that I have not posted since the 31st of December. The reason: no camera, no pictures. I was also trying to make a smooth transition into the semester, which has not been all that smooth thus far. Nevertheless, I have made it to week three and I am doing okay in my classes. I am trying to get money to go to conferences such as Jubilee, the mission trip to Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota during Spring Break, and to the Annual Association of American Geographers conference in Las Vegas. This is an everyday grind for me because I really want to attend all of these conferences.

Anyway, I work in the Student Involvement for 8 hours a week trying to earn some money for these conferences. Yes, I have to be up and at work at 8:30 pm for four days a week but the activity in the campus center is at a minimum so it is not a big deal. I have to do data processing work, along with running errands to several offices including Human Resources, Purchasing, Accounting, and the Cashier Office. In the Student Involvement Office, I usually put out the reserved signs for student organizations who table during lunch. The work is not hard plus I get ample amount of time to study and to read for classes. This is a lot better than sleeping for 10-12 hours a day and trying to focus at home.

I hosted a prospective campus so the Campus Center was pretty filled with prospectives and their parents today. The sounds of the piano was not heard until around 10:00 am today. Usually, someone is playing something nice when I arrive at 8:30 am. At noon, I am going to eat with the prospectives, their parents, and fellow students in the Benes Room. This is a special treat for whenever there is a big group of prospectives. I do not have to walk back to my fraternity house for food; I can stay in the campus center area, eat, and walk to class with an ample amount of time remaining to relax before class. The weather is cold so this is a break for me- meeting prospective students that hopefully share my interest.


I am finally glad that I got a camera so I can show you pictures once again. I took various shots. The first one is the board I use to display important messages such as the upcoming OWU Summit for student leaders. The second shot displays the continential breakfast that was available during the registration for prospectives and their parents. The third shot is an intimate showing of the desk I am behind for the morning and how it overlooks the banners in the atrium area. The banners showcase student groups. The final shot is about OrgSync which will be somewhat like a Facebook but for organizations. Organizations can use this to keep up with everything they need to be successful and function to be best of their abilities. I believe OrgSync will be important for student leaders and their organizations.

Well, it is close to lunch and I have to organize myself for classes later in the day. Glad to be back on the writing and I hope that everyone is enjoying the weather. Just kidding.
