About the blogger

My photo
I'm in my second year as the College Recruitment Officer, and it's gratifying to see so many of the people I helped get started here in classes and moving toward brighter futures. I'm a true education advocate, having earned a bachelor's degree in English from the University of New Mexico and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of Utah. I've also worked in public relations and as a newspaper reporter and a librarian.

Making myself useful

I spent the afternoon helping out where I could in Student Services with its crush of people wanting to register, pick classes, take the Compass Test, turn in financial aid documentation, and everything else you can think of. At times it seemed like the blind leading the blind. One very nice HVAC student was extremely patient with me while we tried to figure out his fall schedule. Not as easy as it sounds! My feet are tired, but it was fun rolling up my sleeves and pitching in. After all, this is what it's all about -- serving students.
