We had quite an exciting week on campus!!
Tuesday was the Fall Festival on campus. They were handing out free chicken and waffles, free candy apples, and they had a bunch of other fun activities including a giant inflatable climbing wall & slide as well as a mechanical bull. We had so much fun watching all the students brave the bull and the climbing walll.
On Wednesday two of our students headed back to Member's 1st for another day of job shadowing. Some of our students filled out their applications for the Blog writing position with the D..R.E.A.M. partnership. They are very excited about it and now just need to submit their resumes as well as a sample of their writing.
The students also previewed the Spring Course Catalog that was released at the end of last week. They began discussing their interests and what courses they would like to register for.
On Thursday, the students were given newspapers and asked to evaluate the ads in the newspaper. They were then given the task to work in a group and create their own ads. They did a great job but definitely had different ideas as to how the ad should look and how it should be created. Group work isn't always easy, but they did a great job.
Another one of our students ran into an interesting situation during their practicum experience. She was independently running the reception area when two deaf women walked in and instantly they both recognized the obvious communication barriers. The student immediately took out a notepad and began writing to the customers. She also shared the computer screen so they were able follow along with what she was speaking of. We are so proud of this student and and how she handled herself in a stressful situation. Our students are evolving into mature, independent adults and we are so honored to be able to help guide them through this process.
