It’s that time of year again–high school outreach season. Don’t get me wrong, being out in the community all summer is great and working with students on our campus is fun but my favorite part of the job is visiting high schools and working with students and staff at those sites–it’s kind of how I got started in education. High school outreach season usually goes from mid-September until mid-June. In those ten months I do presentations and workshops, supervise our student outreach team, and attend college fairs. Even though it’s a time of year where I work a ridiculous number of nights and weekends, it always seems like time is flying.
This Wednesday is my first presentation of the year at a small charter school in the Peninsula. Before I try my new stuff, I’ll probably go with classic material that gets the attention of students and staff alike:
My younger sister and I both graduated from UC Berkeley. The paths we took to get there were completely different. She went straight from high school and I transferred from CSM. By going to a community college first, I saved our parents over $50,000 in tuition. Who do you think they love more?
Camille, it’s just a bit =P.
