Holtzman-Week 3: CSA & Early Start

Activities:
-Update and organize a resource binder
-Particpate in the orientation fair 

Reflection:
This was a busy week, and still I found my self taking work home to do over the weekend so I could hand it in this week.  I enjoyed my time this week because learned so much about the office and Colvard Student Union (Union) operations!   I worked on a resource binder this week, and in doing so I navigated both the Dean of Student  and the Unions web pages to find information about large events on campus and contact information.  I thought long and hard and pondered a few things about what a student would need when planning an event at MSU.

Early Start is coming together and today will be one of our final meetings prior to the students moving in. There are only eight days left before the students move in and Early Start is rolling. I am getting really excited for this program series for incoming students to get orientated and connected to the university and each other in their own Early Start cohort. Some things that I plan to achceive is to help the students navigate through MSU during their first month at MSU.  Also I plan learn more about MSU since personally I did not have the opportunity to attend an orientation, I want to take time and learn more about the traditions/pride about MSU from a student prospective because I learned the quick version as an incoming employee.

Some of the class might notice that I don't write things down in a planner/ homework book when I make to do/reminder lists.  I remember everything (it sounds unbelievable I know) but after I write it down I do not forget nor do I refer back to it for days or weeks.  I have a LONG to do list on a virtual post-it note in my brain.  I have used this method for many years and it has served me well.  I have only goofed on an event six times in the past seven years (entire college career).  Calendars are pricy and every time I think about purchasing one and color coding and mapping out my day, week, and month something always changes, and or I leave it at home or work and don't have it with me when I would need to write something down....so I just don't, I "just post-it" and then I "just do it" as the Nike slogan states.

I am really excited for the rest of my practicum to unfold, and to learn so much more about campus life than I thought that I would....

That is all that I have for you this week! 


Thanks!
