Everybody's Working for the Weekend

Most people are not thrilled about having to come in to work on a Saturday when they normally work Monday through Friday.  However, Saturday, February 16 was an exception.  This past Saturday the Office of Admission, the Honors Program, and the committees for the Arrupe Scholars Program and the Leadership Development Program, welcomed nearly 60 students and their families to campus.  These students interviewed with members of the John Carroll community to become members of different campus organizations and for merit scholarships.

I love working on scholarship interview days because there is such a great energy on campus.  There is the energy of the faculty and administrators who are anxiously waiting to see what this next group of students can bring to campus.  There is the energy of the current students who were out in full-force to help with the day's activities.  And, of course, there is the energy of the scholarship finalists who are vying to become members of these presitgious programs. 

It was a great day that I think had a positive impact and everyone who was present.
