I hope you are all doing well. Sorry its been a while since my last post... but lets face it: If any of you work in higher education you can relate to the fact that the months of August and September are dead zones for our lives. As many of you know I have started my new job and moved into my new home. AND I LOVE IT!
For those of you who don't, let me quickly fill you in: So, not only did I get accepted into the number one Higher Education PhD in the country but then I also got offered a job to work in their res life. It was far too good to pass up, so I moved about three hours away to the town of State College, PA and started working/going to school at The Pennsylvania State University.
That's right I'm rocking it out in the Big Ten, and man is it BIG! Going from a school of 2,000 to a school of almost 45,000 is quite the shock, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. So my job is similar to the one that I had at Geneva but larger and more responsibilities. I oversee three buildings which adds up to about 900 residents. The area of students I help to oversee with four other people is about 3,000 students. My new boss is great, he's very supportive and expects a lot but also gives me the freedom to do my job the way I think is best! I'm still trying to find and build a group of supportive friends, but I am deeply impressed with the people I work around and their care of me and others. My RA staff is also amazing! I was a little worried about inheriting a staff, but they have proven themselves to be really great. So, that's the quick rundown on what I'm doing. So, if you haven't checked out the trailer I posted below... you really need to! I met the guy who is organizing this group of artists and this film... the film is great and it is something that the world needs to see. Join me in becoming an abolitionist, and help to set free the 27 Million slaves world-wide... Because I'm not for sale. You are not for sale. No one should be for sale.
