What the Doctor Ordered
I needed this trip. I love MGCA, it is my favorite conference and I am once again doing three programs here. My campus was very stressful before coming here, I nearly didn't come things got so stressful. I am so glad to be here, in Chicago. Novali came to dinner with me last night, it is her third MGCA Friday night dinner! She was too funny and just reminded me to not make life more stressful then it needs to be.

I am also very excited because my students are really getting it. They are enjoying their programs, I am helping them meet important vendors (computerized recruitment!) and make contacts with important presenters and helping them process their programs. For example last night I chat until nearly 1AM with two Panhel women about the exciting ideas and programs that they have for the next year. Reminds me why I went into this field, and the excitement of the challenge of making needed change. To top it off, one of them is thinking about going into higher education now!

There is only one other Beta here, and very few Latino Greeks. The NPHC showing is much better, but I wish we had better representation. Next year I will be more involved, and help change that. Mark my words... and for the record my presentations are going well, two down, one more to go, wish me luck.

Sunday I will spend with Novali, and then back to Michigan. I have a very busy week ahead of me...
