Today was different from most extra working Saturdays. Volunteering my time, since it was not
required as usual I had the pleasure of working alongside the Admissions and
Recruitment staff on another Welcome weekend on Northeastern Universities
campus. This weekend was different,
because I was no longer welcoming ‘newbie’ students, but students who had
chosen Northeastern, and been accepted. A whole new ball game in the Admissions
cycle, as I was learning. Today was a marketing day, and I relished the
challenge. Why Northeastern, Why Boston,
Why Experiential learning Opportunities and why should I enroll to come here?
Lots of new questions were thrown at me today, on the spot working alongside
the talented professionals on the Admissions Table, in which I tried my hardest
to answer successfully. I got the lovely
opportunity to speak with many families and admitted students on why I love
Northeastern, a story I would tell a thousand times if required.
Truly since I arrived here June 2012 I have loved every
minute, every day, every week and every month.
There are a mound of opportunities piling on Northeasterns beautiful urban
campus, a mountain that every student should challenge their selves to climb. I
know, for a fact, that if I had the experiential learning element of study so readily
available for me to do, I would have grabbed it with all my might. The talent and experience graduating students
from Northeastern have when entering the industrial world is incredible and,
forever thirsty, I have only managed to lap up some of it.
After a great afternoon of work, I enjoyed a free lunch (who
said there was no such thing as a free lunch) with colleagues winding down from
our eventful day meeting all of the amazing students.
Until next time Northeastern! .. ……. . .
