The end of a week

This has been a busy week! Meeting with First Year Scholars is such a joy, and I have met with several this week. I'm at 13 of 45 thus far with a few appointments on my book. Some of the conversations have been so insightful -- how they came to choose the University over the many other schools they gained acceptance to, many prestigious institutions. I think our students make wise choices to attend college here. The cost of an education is quite expensive, and the attention and resources they receive at USC is exceptional. Okay, perhaps I am a bit biased, as both a two-degree alumni and employee here. In a couple of weeks, high school seniors will come and interview for our scholarship programs. The current scholar peeps are eager to share their experiences -- now that is fun to see. In other news, we had a scholar social yesterday, and made 55 Valentine Cards for hospitalized children. I loved seeing everyone express their creativity, enjoying each other, and take time out from very busy schedules to sit down and create with their hands. It's fun to be old school sometimes.
