Week 2

Hello everyone!

This second week working with UT has been great. I feel like we're really starting to get into the swing of things and I'm excited to put all of our ideas into action. On Monday during the meeting it seemed that there was a general consensus that we will be hosting the end of the semester event off campus. I commented that the Wave House might be a good idea and one of the women also suggested Mission Bay Park. I think both of these would be great options because it is an area that is highly populated with USD students and we could also attract the general public.  We obviously need to get a decision made about location and date pretty soon here so we can get started on all of the other elements of the project. Everyone seemed excited and filled with great ideas and I think if we all work hard we can make this event something very valuable for UT.

I attended one of the Sales Training workshops this morning and it was really interesting. I felt like I was actually learning about the process and everyone was eager to hear our ideas. They were definitely excited to have "fresh minds" (as they called us) in attendance and seemed happy that we took the time to show up. They included us in all of their exercises and I think we did pretty well. They were helpful and encouraging and they even seemed impressed at some of our ideas. It is wonderful for them to be so inclusive and really show that they value our input. It is a true sign of how much potential we have to make a difference for UT as a whole and I am eager to see how we live up to it.
One final note is just a reminder that we need to remain professional when we are in those situations. They are giving us a great opportunity and it is vital that we give them the respect and attention that they would expect from any of their employees.

Happy hump day! Hope you all have a great rest of your week.
