Reflection:
It seems like my time at my practicum site has truly flown by! So much has happened this summer, and I'm so surprised at how much I have gotten accomplished. One thing that happened that had a particularly significant impact on me is a meeting I had with the Director and Assistant Director this week. My schedule has picked up dramatically in the past few weeks with classwork and RA training with my assistantship. They called me in to inform me that they were lending a helping hand to me as I finished up my practicum experience. They assured me that I was doing an outstanding job, but they wanted to help me out so that I would not become stressed with all I had going on. This was extremely meaningful to me that the two people who have the most responsibilities in the office were so willing to be supportive of me and see that my needs are being met. This is something that I have seen with the other HCDC staff members as well as with me and Cody. I think that says a lot about the type of leadership we have in place at MSU.
In terms of International Student Orientation, things are going really well. We are in the process of securing transportation for our campus and city tours. We are also getting ready to send out promotional materials to several different campus departments so that everyone will know about the orientation. We are trying to be sure that we promote the event so that current International and ESL students know that they are welcome to attend as well. Since this is a new initiative, we want to make sure that all International students are able to benefit from it.
I look forward to the next coming weeks in my practicum! Hope everyone is enjoying their experience!
