Networking
Friday, March 14th, 2008Once again North Central never ceases to amaze me. From the faculty to the students, to my team mates, to my new accommodated face book friends. I love it here and wish I could stay here and pull a Van Wilder, but I can’t. That is why I have gotten my name out and around this great town of Naperville.
Recently there was a Physical Education conference held at Naperville North High School. I received an e-mail from one of the faculty in the education department saying I should volunteer and help out. So I e-mailed the PE department chair and told him I could help out. I was at the check in post and saw a lot of the teachers in which I observed for over at Neuqua there. I got the chance to sit in on some informational sessions throughout the day and took a lot from them. But one of the main reasons I volunteered there, was not because it was free, but to network. The PE career is a very sought out career and a lot of time it helps when you know people, as I have stated in past blogs.
Along side with the PE conference, I was recently finished up my job opportunity on North Central’s Search Committee for a new Director of the Library. I was lucky enough to meet many department chairs and board of trustee members at North Central through this committee. Also I met the Vice President of Faculty as well. It was a great experience and very eye opening.
But all in all finals are coming up and it’s down to studying. The baseball coaches have given us a little leeway for finals which is awesome. But come Wednesday @ 10 AM its all baseball. We go to Florida for spring break and stay in Orlando. Unfortunately this year we are taking a bus down there, but it will be an experience let me just tell ya. So off I go into another great week here at North Central.
Its week 10 and funny enough also my 10th blog and 10th quote
