Update on June 27th Blog

So, here's the article that appeared in the Campus Newspaper... http://media.www.dailyutahchronicle.com/media/storage/paper244/news/2008/07/02/News/International.Center.Employee.Awarded.For.Work-3387191.shtml

The nice thing about the blog is I can correct all the minor errors here:

1.) I no longer work for the International Center, but for the Office of General Counsel. This is important because the OGC is part of General Administration - which granted me the award. The IC is part of Student Affairs which are voted upon separately - perhaps I wouldn't be selected if I was still in Student Affairs ... ?

2.) I wasn't officially granted the title of Study Abroad Advisor, because I didn't have study abroad experience, but it was close enough.

3.) The office was the International Center, not the International Studies Center. The IC handles study abroad and international student issues. The ISC houses the academic issues, such as the International Studies major and Exchange Agreements.

4.) I don't assist students with green card applications. I used to advise students on visa issues, but my work entails helping faculty and staff with their work visa and green card applications and issues. I have a feeling I am now going to get students breaking down my door. It's okay - it's been a quiet summer.

5.) Counsel, not council.

Congrats. You make it sound so modest! But this sounds like such a big award and you so deserve it!

"Our values develop our character & our character creates our destiny. When we're out of touch with our values, we are blown like autumn leaves, caught up in mindless routines...but when we affirm our guiding values, our lives are inspired by our deepest beliefs." ~Diane Dreher, Ph.D. Your Personal Renaissance

"Nothing is a waste of time." ~Rodin

"To know life is to love many things." ~Vincent Van Gogh

"...when pain is over, the remembrance of it often becomes a pleasure. One does not love a place the less for having suffered in it, unless it has all been suffering..." A. Elliot in Persuasion by J. Austen
