Spring is in the air!

Hi Everyone,


Welcome back from winter break, Christmas celebrations, or winter slumber. Most of you are probably settled in with most classes and re-engaged with your studies and the challenges and/or refining moments found in balancing work, life & school. Given our concurrent enrollment, there are a number of new names and voices in our advising community. Please join this blog and become a follower in order to communicate with me about academic advising related issues or to simply stay caught up on various issues in the program and/or school. Although I would love to connect with all of you via email or phone, the reality for a working student is that most of you prefer a simple method or platform for retrieving information and posing questions. With that said, please reach out via email or phone if I can offer more personalized academic advising and feedback on your process. If you are new to this blog, please scroll through announcement from the Fall 2011 semester. There are a number of blog posts related to academic and program advising.


I also wanted to spotlight that summer enrollment will soon be upon us, along with many decisions about core & elective courses offered in summer. You will notice from our Academic Calendar that there are several important dates to remember, one of which is Summer Registration on March 19th. Do your best to stay true to that deadline since courses fill up fast. As some of you know, we will be offering most core courses, but also a number of electives. I asked my colleagues who typically teach elective courses in the summer to send me their syllabus. The following three electives are offered this summer. Please email me if you are interested in reviewing a specific course syllabus.

1. Leadership and Hardiness (Mt. Adams residency required)
2. Heroic Leadership (campus residency required)
3. Team Building (campus residency required)

Have a wonderful semester!
