How's your Monday going? Not so well? The consensus so far is that the weekend went by too fast. I have to agree. I've been writing a paper for the last week and a half. It's like pulling teeth at this point. That's how I spent the majority of this last weekend. But the week before I was actually doing something that I'm quite proud of.
As an Alumni of Central Michigan University, I would like to give back to the students. Personally, I like to give the students something that they can see is from alumni. You know, instead of some random monetary donation that they will possibly never see. I spoke to a group of English major students at Central Michigan University about getting their careers started now while still in school. I guess I could have told them to follow my example, but I believe I was simply lucky to even be where I am. I want to see these students succeed after all.
Of course this message was shared by the professor of that class and a friend of mine; Dr. Ronald Primeau. Dr. Primeau is instrumental as that kind of professor that would bring people from the field into class to show us how professionals do things. Being stuck in that ivory tower is not good for the imagination or ego. Or... maybe that's just my bias. I was told that the students enjoyed the discussion that day and so did Career Services.
Professor Primeau and myself will be working with CMU Career Services to put on a panel discussion for CMU Students about Preparing for Your Career the first part of February. If you're a CMU student and reading this please pencil this event into your planner. This will be a great event to attend!
