Today the entire faculty of the college went to the Genessee Country Village and Museum to begin preparation for the upcoming semester. We were addressed by the president and the provost, discussed big picture topics such as the meaning of a liberal arts education, the importance of preparing students for life not just jobs, sang together, prayed together, and met each other.
After a delicious lunch (dessert was either raspberry shortcake or chocolate covered cream puffs!) we wandered about the village and museums before the afternoon sessions began. It was an interesting and informative day. We looked at a snapshot of our student body as well as our faculty. We talked about how we got where we are and where we are headed. I met new people and reconnected with those I spent the day with yesterday.
Its been interesting. Frustrating that I have a ton of things to complete before Friday's new library student worker orientation, but a needed foundation. Now, I get to take Drew shopping for school stuff. The coupons run out on Friday and this is one of the last chances I have to take advantage of the coupons. Good things to do. Good days to do them in.
