8 Key Thank Yous:
At the top of my list to thank is Ariel Cohen, Computer Science senior, and my former Career Services student intern. Without Ariel, there would be no blog! Ariel, thanks for jumping on board and sticking with this. It's been such a valuable learning experience for both of us.
Heather Patterson, Assistant Director of Student Services at James Madison University's Career and Academic Planning office, did a presentation about using blogs in our roles as advisors at a meeting here on campus 2 years ago. She was the catalyst who put this idea in my head to use a blog as a way to convey information that I often share with students. Thank you, Heather!
My supervisor, Amy McPherson, is a great supporter of this project. Thanks for being so empowering, Amy. And, our Director, Donna Ratcliffe, is a vocal fan of our work on this blog as well. Thank you!
Our blog is linked on the landing page of the Career Services website, due to the work of Catherine Copeland, our webmaster. Thanks for positioning the link to our blog where students, alumni, faculty and staff, are only a click away.
Social Media team of Career Services Katie Steuer, Kelly Shannon and their team of student workers have shared numerous posts via the Career Services Twitter and Facebook accounts. Thanks for the retweets and shares.
One of my key responsibilities this year is to serve as the Career Services Liaison to the College of Engineering. In this role, I work to grow relationships with a group of faculty and professional advising staff in the College who teach and advise engineering students. I have often shared posts with them which they have passed on to their students. Many thanks, Engineering Advisors.
"What are you doing?" asks my husband. "Working on a blog post," I say. So goes some of our time together on a regular basis for over the past year. Thanks to our families AND friends, who have been such great backers of our efforts, passed on posts to more friends and listened to our excitement about our blog without acting bored.
And, our largest amount of gratitude goes to....
