Expectations/Realities of what happens as an Art Major
I accepted a position at Agnes as the Instructional Support Fellow this year, starting in July. Its a job that is very similar to the one I do now, at the D-Center, but not quite the same. My office will be across from the center. I will still work with …
Thursday was the opening of the show, with a one hour discussion with the professors during the community hour. We actually had a great turn-out for the show. I have to say, it was stressful until the last minute. My team and I were still turning off lights that were …
Sabbatical. You know I never actually knew what that meant? This is typical of me. I’m very late to actually grasp the impact/meaning of words in academia. But only in academia. I was never that kid that obsessed over the percentage weight of the homework versus in class weekly quizzes. …
