FALL I S S U E MACU H O MAGA ZI N E
Throughout these past couple of months, there have
been several wonderful events and opportunities that
have reached members all across the region. At the
close of the 2014-2015 academic year, Stevens Institute
of Technology hosted this year’s Summer Summit. With
the gracious hospitality provided by Steven Couras and
his wonderful staff and interns, this year’s summit will
hold a special place in my heart. Through much laugh-
ter and hard work, Executive Officers, the Leadership
Council, committee members, and friends of MACUHO
were able to accomplish more in two days than I could
have accomplished in a year. In saying so, our Strategic
Task Force finalized the 2015-2020 Strategic Plan. The
Program Committee selected a keynote speaker, our
Experts in Residence (EIRs), and the entire program-
ming slate for this year’s annual conference. All the com-
mittees gathered with full hearts and great ideas for the
upcoming year. New initiatives, expanded opportuni-
ties, and dedicated members will certainly make this
year one to look out for.
Shortly after the Summer Summit, 115 MACUHO mem-
bers attended the ACUHO-I Annual Conference and
Exhibition in Orlando, Florida. This year’s ACUHO-I Con-
ference kicked off with the Regional Presidents Meet-
ing which proved one thing—students come first! Just
as our students continue to change, so does our profes-
sion. With that in mind, the Regional Associations and
A Letter From the President
Brooke Clayton
Hello MACUHO!ACUHO-I have decided to look at how we, as one profession with multiple
moving parts, can change to improve our experience for students. With co-
ordination from Regional Presidents and Executive members of ACUHO-I, a
task force was assembled to look at several aspects of our profession. Look-
ing at all of the opportunities each region provides, the legacies that have
been established, the countless studies and research that exists, this task
force will take the next eighteen months to examine the best practices of
independent regions and the profession as a whole. I look forward to the
results of this knowing it can only get better! One profession, a world of
experiences!
Speaking of experiences, I hope you were one of the hundreds to attend
this summer’s Philly Exchange and NJCORE. Drexel University in Philadel-
phia and the New Jersey Institute of Technology with direction from our
Regional Coordinators each hosted a one-day drive-in conference and net-
working opportunity for members specific to their region. Lessons were
shared, connections were made, and the chance to find a professional part-
ner happened just around the corner. It’s events like these that help build
those bonds that ultimately make the association better. If you missed out
on the events this summer, don’t worry, there is plenty more to do!
Looking forward... be sure to register for this year’s MACUHO Annual Con-
ference and Exhibition at The Penn Stater in State College, PA on October
28th – 30th. Head to the MACUHO website for registration information! If
you haven’t done so already, please take a moment to review the proposed
2015-2020 Strategic Plan. If you have any concerns or feedback, please
complete the respective “comment card” located on the MACUHO website.
During this year’s Business Meeting at the Annual Conference & Exhibition,
the voting delegates from each institution will vote on whether or not to
pass the plan. Please do not hesitate to contact us. Likewise, MACUHO has
expanded the scholarship opportunities available for the Lisa A. Pierce Vol-
unteer Incentive Program for Students (VIPS). These students are the future
of our profession.
As I look for the right words to end this letter, I realize it will be my last one
as your President. I hope I have served you proud. More importantly, I hope
I have been able to lead this association towards a direction that you are
proud to be a part of. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. Good
luck and Godspeed.
Hello MACUHO!! I hope this letter finds you gearing up for another great year! As RA training comes to an end and buildings open, I hope you get this time to catch up on your MACUHO mo-ments. The MACUHO Executive Board, Leadership Council, and committees have been working tirelessly to provide amazing opportunities for you and your colleagues.

New HorizonsBrian Medina - A Letter from the President Elect
By now, you have hopefully persisted through your staff training, opening, and first round of student conduct or roommate concerns. For the Housing Ops folks, you may have renovations in the queue or are trying to deal with over-occupied space in your residence halls. Whatever you might be managing, I hope you turn to your colleagues around the region for support and guidance to keep you balanced as a professional.
It is my privilege to serve as your Vice President/President Elect, which means that by the end of the Annual Confer-ence at Penn State University from October 28th-30th, I will officially be your MACUHO President.
MACUHO is wrapping up a very successful Strategic Plan development by a truly remarkable team from all different backgrounds and positions around our region. Thanks to them and to our two Strategic Plan gurus (Michael Schoch and Josh Belice), we will be able to vote on our new 2015-2020 Strategic Plan at the Annual Conference. In the com-ing years, it will be our collective responsibility to implement this Strategic Plan. I will rely upon each of you to provide ongoing feedback to ensure that our Plan isn’t simply a ref-erence tool, but a living document to cultivate.
I announced at the Summer Summit in June that I will be appointing two Task Forces during my tenure as President. The first focuses on Conferences and Professional Develop-ment, including the Annual Conference but also the many others we host throughout the year. It is time to fully as-sess our bid processes, operational calendar, and financial tenacity to ensure that members get the best experience that we can provide. With the growing ability to host we-binars and online forums, we will also look to expand our free or low-cost options for professional development. Pete Galloway (Past President) and Debbie Scheibler (Director of Annual Programs) have agreed to co-chair this Task Force.
The second Task Force will center upon Membership and Structure. Beyond professional development, we truly seek to better engage you as members into the work that we do as an association. MACUHO has continually redefined the role of Regional Coordinator, and part of this Task Force’s mission will be to research national best practices and attempt to meet our professional needs more locally. This Task Force will also continue the great work conduct-ed 5 years ago to enhance our leadership opportunities within MACUHO. In 2011, our membership voted to adjust MACUHO’s association structure. The Task Force will as-sess the effectiveness of these changes and propose small adjustments to augment our work moving forward. Sean Killion (Past President), Crystal Lopez (Past President), and Jacklyn Gentile (Director of Membership Development) have agreed to chair this Task Force.
Finally, as a means to connect more directly with our mem-bership, I am piloting a series of interactive Fireside Chats that will occur monthly throughout the year. Given our vid-eo conferencing capabilities, I want to not only provide reg-ular updates, but to also connect with anyone who wants to attend these open discussions. I plan to host these chats on Friday afternoons at 1pm and will publicize a schedule and instructions for logging on through the MACUHO website.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share and dis-cuss the many great things we will do together in the com-ing year.
Best, Brian Medina Vice-President/President Elect
Greetings, MACUHO!

NAVIGATING YOUR FIRST-YEAR AS A RESIDENCE LIFE STAFF MEMBER For many of us, Residence Life is the first stepping-stone into the wonders of Higher Education and Student Affairs. Yet some of us, like me, hoped to enter through other avenues like Admissions, Student Activities, or Multicultural Affairs. I graduated from the Center for Higher and Postsecondary Education (CSHPE) at the University of Michigan in December 2013 and imagined myself landing a job in New Student Orientation, Multicultural Affairs, or Diversity and Community Engagement. Residential Life was farthest from my preference and, in fact, I avoided Residence Life postings at all costs. I openly shared that it was not where I wanted my career to begin. A few months into the job search I realized that it was not about where I wanted to be, instead I needed to go where opportunities existed for me to jumpstart my career. To be candid, I had concerns about a live-in/live-on position that landlocked me and required me to be on-call and handle any and all situations that came my way – trust me, any and ALL situations make their way to and through Residential Life.
As a person who had no experience in Residence Life, I listened to my friend’s advice who said, “A position in Residence Life will require you to collaborate with all campus partners and you’ll earn the stripes to do any other work in Student Affairs.” She has been in Residence Life since her undergraduate years so I hesitated in taking her advice to heart. However, I knew deep inside that Residence Life was a functional area that would challenge me to learn new skills and think about the student experience from a different lens.
by Karina Beras
I have now completed my first year in Residence Life. In reflection, here are three main points that were instrumental in my learning curve and suc-cess during the first year:
1. LEARN TO NAVIGATE THE “CONNECTOR” ROLE.
As a young professional in a first line of contact role, I often found myself in a balancing act. Students often came to me with their good news, bad news, concerns and everything in between, expecting me to be the collective voice and mind of reason for them. There were times when I wanted to advocate for the students in all ways that I could, but I also realized that I needed to uphold certain institution pol-icies and/or divisional directives that did not always align with the students’ needs or wants. I vacillated on which way to go or whose side to take, knowing that neither would be possible and that I would have to find a way to please both constituents. I found that the best way to navigate this matter was by speaking up about it with my students and colleagues, reminding myself of the reasons why I chose a career in Student Affairs, and keeping in mind a very important lesson – learn to make the distinction between what you are sup-posed to do, and what you need to do.
2. STEP BACK, REFLECT AND ASSESS. With meetings lined up, emails piling up, and the semester quickly running its course, it is not often that we take a step back to reflect and assess on our work. Personally, I found myself on a non-stop roller-coaster for the first 6-8 months on the job, feeling like I had accomplished nothing and instead had grown weary with a never-ending to-do list and unachieved goals. The reality was that I had done more than I gave myself credit for, but it was dif-ficult for me to acknowledge the many months of hard work because I was looking for tangible gains. With the fast pace and abstract nature of our work, it is easy to overlook small wins and we sometimes fail to recognize the change we create on our campuses. We should make time to reflect in order to better plan and prevent haphazardness, to reenergize and refocus, and to continue to mold our paths to becoming wiser professionals.
3. FIND WAYS TO RELAX, HAVE FUN, AND CLEAR YOUR MIND.
Working in Residence Life is draining! I know it typically sounds like lots of bonding and community building, but that is not all that happens in our world. The core of my work is student development through the lens of RA (Resident Assistant/Advisor) guidance, mentorship, and supervision. My first year I supervised 25 RAs which meant I listened to many stories, gave many hugs, and helped wipe a decent share of tears. We are more than mentors and supervisors for our students – we also become counselors and friends. This work can become exhausting when you consider the fact that you are helping young people find their way and their space in a collegiate envi-ronment and you are one of the few professional staff members on whom they depend and trust. This work is truly remarkable and rewarding, but not without added pressure. During the first year, I found myself wanting to solve all of my RAs problems and was taking all emotions and con-cerns home with me – not a good idea! Halfway through the fall semester I realized that I needed to relax, have fun, and find ways to clear my mind. There were circumstances I could not change and issues that were out of my purview of control. If I wanted to be any good to my students, or myself, I needed to let (some) things go. So, I stopped checking email after leaving the office and I openly talked about my struggles with my colleagues and friends. My ways of relaxing and having fun came through exercising regu-larly and joining my church choir. Whatever it is you end up doing, remem-ber to give yourself a break, decompress, and do the best you can!
To thrive as a new professional in Residence Life requires concerted effort to retain clarity of purpose, goals, and self. We must challenge ourselves to pause, look in both directions, and always move with intentionality. For me, the key in staying the course has been in finding ways to reaffirm the work, remember the reason, and rejoice in the process of making new memo-ries. If we take time to reflect and take care of ourselves, just like we ask our students to do, this work can be all of the things we hoped and imagined it would be – fulfilling and rewarding, with enough opportunities for learning, growing, and reimagining.

CHALLENGE
OURSELVES TO
PAUSE, LOOK IN
BOTH DIRECTIONS,

his summer I had the opportunity to work for the Office of Residence Life at Stevens Institute of Technology, Lower Campus Area Office. I was able to work alongside professional staff and gain skills
that would prepare me for my future career in Residence Life and Student Affairs. As a Summer Intern Resident Director, I was able to hone in on certain skills and network with those that had already made their way in the field.
One of these networking opportunities was the MACUHO Summer Summit that Stevens hosted. It brought Student Affairs professionals who work all over the MACUHO region to Stevens and allowed me to get a better understanding of what I want to do after college. It also allowed me to discover the steps I need to take to get into the field of Student Affairs.
Under the supervision of Steven Couras and Becky Falto, the Summer Intern Resident Directors were able to experience multiple fields of Student Affairs, like Greek Life, Student Life, Athletics and Title IX. Every week our staff of Summer Resident Directors met and discussed different topics in Student Affairs, and Stevens had guest speakers attend that also provided great advice and words of wisdom. During one of our meetings, Thea Zunick, the Associate Director of Student Life and Greek Life Advisor came to talk about her role and the importance of Greek Life at Stevens and other universities. Thea was joined by Chris Shemanski (Student Life Coordinator) and Kristie Damell (Assistant Dean & Title IX Coordinator) who spoke about their respective roles and gave advice on getting into the field. These weekly development meetings gave me a lot to think about and helped prepare me for a future career in Student Affairs.
Another one of the topics during our weekly development meetings I really enjoyed learning about was Title IX. It was great to learn about Title IX from an administrative perspective, and I also obtained a better understanding of how hard universities work to keep their students safe. At the same meeting we discussed the documentary “The Hunting Ground” and were invited to attend a screening of the documentary for administrators at Stevens. This was just another great perk from this summer internship.
I had an amazing summer at Stevens working for Residence Life and the Lower Campus Area Office. I learned a lot, made some great friends, networked with numerous people and got to live in Hoboken, NJ. It was a great summer!

“I HAD AN AMAZING SUMMER AT STEVENS WORKING FOR RESIDENCE LIFE AND LOWER CAMPUS AREA OFFICE.”
My name is Ashley Woodruff and I am going to be a junior at Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, MD. I wanted to share my experience interning at Stevens Institute of
Technology this past summer. An intern program like this is beneficial not only to students like myself who are interested in working within Student Affairs and seeing how areas within the institution operate, but also to institutions who are looking to receive some help during the busy summer season. This past year, I decided that I would like to pursue a career in Student Affairs thanks to my Resident Assistant position, work in Admissions, involvement in Student Government Association, and most importantly the professionals at my school. After deciding this, I also decided to change my major from education to business to allow myself to have the opportunity to learn business skills that will help me as a Student Affairs professional. My business major will also allow me to have time to do several internships involving higher education within the academic year. In addition to this, I began brainstorming summer job opportunities for myself within Student Affairs as I hope to continue to learn about this field.
When I first learned about the Residence Life internship opportunity at Stevens Institute of Technology from my Associate Director, Tricia Arndts, I thought it would be a long shot for me to receive the position considering I was only a sophomore. I was very excited weeks later when I received an email from Steven Couras, an Area Coordinator & Title IX Investigator at Stevens, offering me the position. This was going to be the first time I would be spending my summer away from home, and I would be in a new environment near a big city. My excitement outweighed my nervousness and I counted down the days until my arrival in Hoboken, New Jersey.
Throughout my internship, I have had the chance to interact with professionals from both Stevens and other institutions. Within my first month at my internship I was able to attend the MACUHO Summer
Summit that took place at Stevens, which was a great experience for me. I was able
to meet and make connections with many Student Affairs professionals throughout the conference days and at the dinner the first
night. I was also fortunate enough to be able to sit in on various committees that met within the two days of the conference. It was very interesting to listen to what each committee had previously been working on as well as their future plans. This helped engage me and allow me to decide where I hope to become involved within the organization.
Within my time working at the main Office of Residence Life at Stevens, I have had the chance to perform a wide variety of tasks from copying, scanning, and faxing documents, to making a five-year report of alcohol violations and creating a new student newsletter. I also took part in a professional on-call duty rotation which was an awesome experience for me. Fortunately, I was also able meet with other professionals within Student Life at Stevens. Thea Zunick, Associate Director of Student Life, helped me to better understand Greek Life and her work around the campus. I also spoke with Kristie Damell, Assistant Dean of Students and Title IX Coordinator, who also helped to teach me about her job. I am glad I was able to learn about how Stevens runs their Residence Life office and other clubs, groups, and organizations, especially since I had not seen how different institutions operate and was not familiar with Greek Life.
Overall, this internship experience has been great. I made great connections, made new friends, was able live in a different environment, and was able to gain more knowledge and experience in a field that I am passionate about. I look forward to continuing on my Student Affairs path, and I plan on having another summer internship in a Residence Life office next year. I also plan to receive my master's degree when I am done at Mount St. Mary’s University. I strongly encourage other undergraduate students that are thinking about a career in Students Affairs to apply for a summer internship within the higher education field. Having an internship as an undergraduate student is great experience for one to see if they would enjoy working in the field and it also allows students to gain various working skills, make connections, and learn more about the field overall.

Toto We’re Not in Tennessee Anymore
When I first got to Stevens Institute of Technology at the
beginning of June, I didn’t know what MACUHO was. I grew up in
Massachusetts and went to college in Tennessee, so I had no association with the
Mid-Atlantic region. (To be honest I thought everyone in New Jersey just had a lot of trouble saying ACUHO-I and settled on the slang version “MACUHO” instead.) I was quickly corrected, however, because in the second week of my internship Stevens hosted the MACUHO Summer Summit. I didn’t know how relevant it would be to me since I go to school so far away, but my hesitations quickly dissipated.
Sitting in the corner wide-eyed and silent before the first session, I watched as each member walked into the room greeted by hugs, handshakes, and congratulations on their most recent accomplishments. I listened as the executive board gave updates on past initiatives and excitedly revealed new ones. I sat in on the programming committee meeting where members chose the programs for this year’s annual conference. But most importantly, I felt welcomed, supported, and appreciated. No one in the room—despite their busy schedules—hesitated to talk to me about my interests, my contributions, or my future. By the end of the Summit I was sympathizing with Conal for his foot injury and looking at pictures of Dana’s grandkids. I felt that these were the kind of people I wanted to be around permanently.
In the spirit of full disclosure I will tell you that at the beginning of this summer I was fairly certain I did not want to work in housing. For the past few years I have flip-flopped between working in admissions and working in residential education. I was an RA all throughout my
undergraduate career, but after a particularly difficult year as Head Resident of Vanderbilt’s new residential college system I was ready to call it quits. The position had been a rewarding, incredible experience, but I was pretty burned out. Compared to the sleepless nights my Area Coordinator endured, reading applications in my pajamas with no duty phone in sight seemed like a more appealing career.
What I learned after two days in a room with some of MACUHO’s most committed, enthusiastic members, however, is that feeling “burned out” is a temporary condition that is greatly overshadowed by the benefits you reap as a housing official. Not one of the people I met tried to tell me that escorting a student to the hospital at 4am is enjoyable, but every single person I spoke with talked about the immense satisfaction they get from helping students work
through mistakes like these and learn more about who they are as a result. The hardest work is often the most rewarding. After the Summer Summit I felt reinvigorated and eager to accept the challenges that come with working in residential education. It was clear to me that every late night would be worth it.

s a student entering her fourth and final year of college, the looming question of “What next?”
becomes more relevant every day. As a result, I decided it would be in my best interest to take an internship that would help me hone my skills as a professional and provide me with some direction. I needed the type of position that would help cultivate me as a young professional and help me to utilize the skills I have already procured. When I found out about an opportunity to intern at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken New Jersey as a Summer Intern Resident Director, I gladly applied.
Taking the position has been a welcomed experience for me, as it has opened my eyes to new possibilities, ideas, and opportunities. I have been contemplating going into Residence Life as a possible career for a while now, and I found that my time at Stevens Institute has been very valuable in fine tuning the direction I should to go. A typical day at Stevens involves supervising the office and RAs, participating in the professional

duty rotation, and a variety of personal projects that help develop programs at Stevens. Some days we
host professional development meetings that cover a wide range of subjects such as resume building, setting up Residence Life software, and effectively programming for hot topics like Title IX. We were even able to attend the MACUHO Summer Summit which was held at Stevens Institute this year.
I found the Summit to be extremely interesting because it gave me a better idea of the similarities
and differences in Residence Life at different schools within the region. I was also very intrigued how the
Summit itself was run, particularly when the large group broke out into smaller ones in order to complete specific tasks. People working at different schools came together to work on projects for the benefit of Residence Life and Student Affairs across the region. Previously, I had not been aware of how closely schools worked with each other and was interested to see how ideas flowed not only from person to person, but from school to school. I spent some time with a few of the groups and found that I had a flair for the marketing and public relations group, which thrilled me as marketing is my concentration for my major.
Overall, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with Stevens Institute of Technology, and I have benefited greatly from this internship experience. I found my position was a cultivating experience that mutually benefited Stevens and myself, and I hope to see other positions like it open up in the future. I am excited to bring what I have learned at Stevens back to my own school, Ramapo College, where I am an RA.
“TAKING THE POSITION HAS BEEN A WELCOMED EXPERIENCE FOR ME, AS IT HAS OPENED MY EYES TO NEW POSSIBILITIES, IDEAS, AND OPPORTUNITIES.”

This summer I had the opportunity to gain an internship within the MACUHO region. Stevens Institute of Technology was able to house eight Summer Intern Resident Directors. Throughout the summer, our supervisor and summer intern coordinator, Steven
Couras, would provide us each with different tasks. Many of these tasks were something we were interested in and that would help us later on in our ca-reers in Student Affairs. Specifically, I was interested in Social Media. Steven allowed me to help with the MACUHO Social Media along with the Social Me-dia for their Lower Campus Office and the Office of Residence Life at Stevens. I was able to apply what I had already learned at my previous institution, Kutz-town University, while also branching out and learning new things at Stevens.

Not only did this internship afford me the opportunity to grow, it also helped me transition from my undergraduate posi-tions to my graduate positions. At Stevens, we were held in the same regard as their Graduate Assistants. This helped me tran-sition from an undergraduate approach to a graduate mentality without all of the stress of the academic year.
The internship at Stevens Institute of Tech-nology allowed me to gain more experi-ence, not just through the work, but also through outside opportunities. At the be-ginning of the summer, I had the oppor-tunity to attend the MACUHO Summer Summit hosted by Stevens. I was able to network and also gain more knowledge of the region. Every Thursday we had pro-fessional development meetings with the interns at Stevens. In these meetings we would talk about various topics in the field, and we would also meet with other Student Affairs departments. These meet-ings helped me see the full scope of Stu-dent Affairs and Higher Education. I was able to determine what aspect I wanted to become more involved with, and I was also able to learn what I needed to do to excel in the field.
I am so thankful for this opportunity, and I highly recommend that undergraduates and new graduate students participate in summer internships.These experiences will help you gain more knowledge of the field, improve the skills you have, and gain some new ones. For me, it was not about adding another position to my resume, but rather how this experience could make me a better-rounded Student Af-fairs professional.

Professional Staff Members Matter to Our VIPs Natalie Liston
As student affairs professionals we know how impactful our undergraduate experience is on our career path. Undergradu-ates seek support, mentorship, knowledge, and people who push them to be the best they can be. This is why it’s so import-ant for you to recommend a student to the VIPs program. They care about what you think and what you encourage them to do. You, graduate students, and professional staff members have the ability to shape the future of an amazing student. Every year the VIPs program happens alongside the annual conference, this year we are able to accommodate 16 students, free of charge, to attend the conference and gain valuable knowledge. Each student is assigned a mentor for the conference that will look over their resume, answer questions, and help them network with professionals. Being a VIPs is an amazing opportunity and you being an amazing person in their life, should recommend them to apply. Applications can be summit-ed until September 25th.
Ok, I’m going to go there and be totally honest with all of you: I get really bummed out with our field this time of year. It’s the start of the school year. Most of us are coming off our recent staff training highs and are running head-long into the new semester. New students are moving in and re-turning students are coming back for another year. We’re flipping residential spaces from “conference mode” back to resident mode. We’re laying out our new budgets and our fall program slates are getting filled up. While this should be an exciting time for opportunities and looking ahead, so many of us get hung up on the long days, the frequent new student questions, the constant rushing around and the stressors of starting a new year. Yes, the days are long (like, really long), but that’s just how we operate in August and early September. This isn’t a new thing for our field. I am not trying to present myself as “better than”, but I get really disheartened when I see my Facebook and Twitter feeds blowing up with “I’m so tired”, “Another long day...”, “I hate August” and “Is it May yet” posts from my fellow higher ed peers. Think of how we must look to new professionals who are seeing all of this negativity? People- I am here to tell you, in the most lovingly way possible: suck it up. We’ve got an entire year ahead of us. We have an amazing MACUHO Annual Conference at Penn State coming up. We have SSLI at Rowan University approaching. There are GREAT THINGS on the horizon within our region, on our campuses and for each of us as individuals. It’s time for all of us to pull our-selves out of the “August/September funk” and hop on that magical rainbow unicorn of awesome that I know this year can, and should, be!
Step it Up, ButtercupDebbie Scheibler - Assistant Director of Housing and Residence Life at Rutgers University,
REMIND YOURSELF: YOU HAVE THE CAPACITY TO MANAGE THIS. Dig deep; it is there.
YOU CHOOSE YOUR ATTITUDE. Every morning you make a choice to embrace this lifestyle or not.
We are all in this together. Call a colleague if you need support but remember that we are all trudging through the start of the semester together, each at our own campuses.
PRACTICE SELF-CARE. You know yourself, and if you need a break you need to ask for it.
SET THE EXAMPLE. Your peers and your supervisees (and your brand new professionals) feed off of your energy. What does your energy this time of year convey to them?
OPT FOR THE SILVER LINING. Sure, it’s rough this time of year, but you are doing amazing things. You are practically super-human. Focus on that.
YOU. ARE. AWESOME. Let’s face it; you have to be awesome to be able to put in the hours, dedication and care that is necessary to excel in our field. The days are long and the work can be tough and thankless. This is the time of year that we all need to suck it up, rock it out and decide that we are going to make 2015-2016 the best year yet! Now go out there and be extraordinary!
