The seminary asked if I would be willing to have my picture taken as part of their campaign to renew their brochures and website photos. I guess that would be OK. I am featured on one of the Concordia brochures and I wish to be an equal opportunity model. I believe I represent the "older white woman rejoining the workforce" contingency. Besides, its on my morning off, and its only an hour.
I show up at the designated time to discover that not everyone is able to make the exact time. They have coffee and doughnuts (Timmie's!), so I just hang around until a few others show up including the photographer. One by one bleary eyed students enter the classroom, and it turns out I know most of them.
Having begun with one Cohort, but being delayed due to health issues and squeezing in a few regular classes between core courses has exposed me to people in a variety of Cohorts from 19 to 24. It gets to be silly. As each person enters, I greet them and we hug and catch up on news. I am one of the few who knows people from other groups.
It works well though. As we casually chat, they pose us and the photographer snaps lots of natural shots of students interacting. Throw in a few faculty and we are good to go. Before I know it, an hour has stretched into two before we finally wind it up. New brochures are good. Mostly I am glad for a chance to see everyone and reconnect. Yeah!
