Lane - Week 2 - MUW Student Leadership & Sevice: On my way to the store


This week at my practicum site would prove to be more eventful than any of my previous weeks. Besides the fact that I would be working everyday of the week in the office and spent all day in the office on Wednesday, I was preparing to host my first campus-wide event. The event was titled, "Chillin and Grillin", it would serve as social event for all on-campus residents currently in summer school. So as one of my duties, I had to go to the store and pick out the items for the event. Amanda Williams, Administrative Assistant and Kevin Patrick, Coordinator of International Student Services went with me to pick out the items for the cookout (pictured above).

After going to the store that morning, I met with my site supervisor to review my learning contract. I like my supervisor because she is hands-on but she allows me to get things done the way I would like. As we went over the learning contract, we both decided that the contract was one that both of us could follow and more importantly, she felt as though my goals were all attainable. My experience so far in the department have been great. The student intern in the office is a Executive Team member for the Hearin Leadership Council, having the opportunity to talk to her on a regular basis has allowed me the opportunity to learn a great deal about the program from a student perspective.
 
Next week, I look forward to beginning to work on the Leadership retreat scheduled for July 23nd-24th down on the Coast. We have started our planning and have booked a location for the students to stay but the company's tax id is not correct. I have been trying to contact the company for the past five days and no one can give me the correct information. The General Manager will be in on Monday so hopefully I can tract that number down.
