Utilizing Campus Resources

Darn! One day late, but I got carried away by Greek Week! Happy VEISHEA everyone!!!

So this last week we discussed utilizing campus resources. It was nice to learn where some of our student fees go. Some of the services the university offers to us as students are things you would never think about until you really need them. For example, the student legal services. That is a great service to provide since many students cannot afford private legal advice. Other great services include counseling for students that are going through a tough time. The best thing I learned about was the Student Answer Center. I love that there is a resource like that! You just call and they answer your questions.

I feel very capable now of conveying the message of these services to my students next fall. Some of them I hope they will never have to use, but it is important for them to know that there is a resource for them for almost anything that they might go through!

VEISHEA Love!

Team Work and Class Outside!!!

First off, love the weather and so glad we got to have class in the lounge area with the doors open!!!

Also, thank you for the congratulations on my mentor award, it was a real honor, but every time I come to class I learn more about what I want to add and do differently with how I am mentoring next year! That leads me into the accountability activity about team work. One thing that I feel like being a Hixson Peer Mentor will be to improve my weakness in team work. In most group work I tend to take the lead and do a chunk of the work since I have a vision and feel that I want it to be done right. However, working with other strong mentors, such as yourself, has taught me that I need to listen to others and encourage equal contribution from the group in order to have a really great outcome!!!
