About the blogger

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.

Give stuff! Get stuff!

The halls of the 200 building seem unnaturally quiet this afternoon, and I wonder if that's because a lot of folks are off preparing for Saturday's big parking lot/rummage sale here at the Havasu campus. This is a campus-team opportunity to do good for the campus while giving everyone an excuse to unload their unwanted stuff. (High-quality, gently used unwanted stuff, of course.) The sale is being sponsored by the local chapter of the MCC Foundation, and proceeds will go for special projects here on campus that conventional educational funding doesn't cover. One of those is our wildly popular College for Kids program. Money we raise Saturday could help local kids from families of modest means attend the two-week college camp. If you have some stuff to give, drop it off by noon Friday. (It's tax-deductible.) If you want more stuff--and who doesn't?--join us Saturday, behind the 600 building, between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m.
