Hello
It has been a busy few weeks here in the office, with the director out of the office on vacation, I was in charge! A few weeks back at the beginning of February we had our office’s first ever spring volunteer fair (Spring Into Action: Volunteer and Opportunities Fair). Look at the cool poster I made!
Microsoft Publisher has become one of my biggest allies this year in advertising on UMass Boston’s Campus. School was out until the end of January, so things picked up real fast in the office.
The response to our autumn fair was so great we decided it was time for a spring fair. I was in charge of organizing it again, and surprisingly we had many new organizations present! Overall the fair went really well and turned out to be not too stressful despite the fact my supervisor was out sick, which meant I was running the fair literally all by myself! We had made connections with other organizations on campus too which was really nice, because they came to me asking to come to the fair and now I’m aligned with many of the student centers and offices on campus personally as I organized the fair.
Right now my work has been revolving around Alternative Break, with less than 1 month to the trip it is really push time to get everything done. We worked with a travel agent to book our plane tickets to
We’re also getting to that time of year where Corps members are starting to think about next year, and what is next. Many of the Corps members have been getting acceptance letters to graduate school, many are thinking about another year of service, and many can’t even wrap their heads around how far we’ve come.
Tomorrow is our half way point meeting with our Supervisors and MACC; I’m looking forward to tomorrow and how we are going to lay down sustainability for our programs into the future.
Yours in Service,
Erika
