I just finished my first work week here at UNO. So far it's been amazing. I love the energy of everyone I'm working with. To me, I have the dream job. I plan trainings, I work with OLs, I do energetic teambuilders, and I'm basically doing what I love in a whole new place.
On Wednesday I met all of the OLs at their meeting. They are incredible leaders with so much energy and commitment to what they do. Thursday was my official start date and I basically worked on paper work stuff to get me into the system, and sat in on some meetings. I got my schedule for the summer and learned all of the tasks I will be working on. There is a lot to do this summer, but all of it will be so rewarding! I basically work in 2 offices, SIL (Student Involvement and Leadership) and NSO (New Student Orientation). So I get to experience the whole array of first year experiences. :-) This also means I work with two main student groups. Orientation Leaders and Krewe Leaders. Each of them have their own unique energy!
Today was the first training retreat for Krewe Leaders. It was a great training because we went over some valuable information. But we also had a lot of fun and did some good energizing activities. I showed the Krewe leaders how to play "Quest," my favorite teambuilder!
Everyone is so nice here! The move has been so easy and I know this summer is going to be amazing. I'm already feeling a sense of belonging in the orientation world. My next goal this weekend will be to explore New Orleans. I'll be doing some grocery shopping and lots of city walking. Maybe I'll get a bus pass, I'm not sure yet.
Smiling as always,
Cameron :-)
