Activities
- Attended meeting with MSU administration, Local Architect, and Construction developer regarding the Cooley building renovations and additions
- Attended meeting with International programs to discuss VISA procedures for international students
- Researched and compiled Student Organization Handbooks regarding non-discrimination policies


This week had more meetings, and one meeting I was not prepared for at all.  The meeting regarding the Cooley building was very overwhelming, but a very interesting meeting.  Seeing on all these key MSU administrators come together to make decisions on a campus renovation and addition was very interesting.  I saw how General Counsel facilitates these huge campus initiatives.  There was a Board of Alderman that joined in the meeting, and they were there to represent Starkville as the city.  Seeing all of these questions opened my eyes, to the meetings that I might be attending when I am a university administrator.  Though it is slow in preparation, it is helping me to think like an administrator. 

I was not anticipating the meeting at all, but it just reinforced on how important the Office of General Counsel is with the university and its goals.
