Hartfield: Week 4 - Dean of Students' Office - East Mississippi Community College

Activities:

• Finalized the Off-Campus Apartment guide, website, and flyer to present to my supervisor
• Created an partnership form with local businesses that donate to events hosted by DOS office
• Created a FERPA guidelines and scenario sheet for faculty for the upcoming convocation
• Began working on the Back to School Bash event
• Met with the VP of Student Services to discuss orientation
• Meeting with supervisor, Cathy Kemp; Michael Black, district recruiter; and Brooke Collins (MSU alumni and COE alumni), recruiter for Scooba Campus to compare Orientation pros and cons.

Reflection:

The past two weeks have been pretty busy at EMCC.  I have been working on several small projects to prepare for the upcoming school year. We will have our second JourneyEAST Orientation session this upcoming Friday and are expecting a larger crowd this session that in June. We meet with Brooke Collins (who is a recent Misssissippi State COE graduate) and compared JourneyEAST survey results between our campus and the Scooba campus. We also discuss the improvements that we can work on for the next JourneyEAST session. I am hoping to work with Brooke at Scooba during my practicum experience to gain some knowledge on the Scooba campus and how different it is from the Golden Triangle Campus. I feel like I can dedicate more valuable time to my practicum now that June Session classes are over! I am looking forward seeing how JourneyEAST goes!
