Fridays

Today was a lot different than the other days I have gone to work. There were so many prospective students in the Admissions Office when I arrived and yet it felt like no one was there. The top floor was abandoned, only to hold the life of a living plant in a few offices and some ambassadors climbing the stairs to get to papers printed off the printer or to go get a t-shirt for a prospective student. The divide in the office was incredible. Katie and the rest of the Admissions Counselors, minus Paul were no where in sight and there was not a trace of any kind to determine where they were going. I assumed they went to a high school to talk to the students. Nonetheless, the atmosphere was eerie.

I was invited once again to accompany a tour by my friend Brian. He and I have now worked a few tours together and have gotten the hang of each other's style. I have also found some helpful hints along the way. For example, we always discussed who would say what on the tour as well as not talking over one another. Having a game plan from the start helps to make the tours look and feel more fluid and comfortable. The family's react to our optimism in a positive light.

I also got to hand out fliers today made my Paul Brower inviting all of the faculty members to a wine and cheese reception where they would meet the new additions to the admissions department as well as casual socializing.

Fridays are slow, so I didnt do much. I hope though that I get to do more soon..
