Friday, March 20

Today I have been working on “February in the News” revisions.  Again, this is a record kept of all Cabrini students’/alumni appearances in newspapers, magazines and online articles.  I have also been writing a press release for a presentation being delivered by a  neuroscience researcher named Dr. Mario Beauregard.  He will presenting a summary of his newly published work, “The Spiritual Brain,” on March 31 at 7pm.  Though this seems like a very scientific discussion, of which I am not privy, I am still curious to see what it is all about.

I have also been finishing up the press releases for the President’s List.

Monday, March 16

Today I returned to my internship-Yay!  

We began with the weekly meeting which was very involved.  I was asked about my trip to Appalachia and I explained to my colleagues what I had learned down there.

Next, I was given all of the counties’ newspapers (which I had looked up) who’s e-mails or phone numbers had been disconnected or deleted.  I then looked up new phone numbers and called these newspapers in order to get the correct e-mails.

I then worked on “February in the News.”  This is a record of all the appearances of the College in newspapers, magazines, and online articles.  This also includes students and alumni.

That’s all for now ..more to come on Friday!

March 8-March 13 Spring Break!

On Monday March 9 and Friday March 13 I did not attend my internship due to the college’s Spring Break.  I did, however, embark on an immersion trip called “Project Appalachia.”  The trip took place in Montgomery, WV, a poor and rural area of the country.  The 26 students and 2 faculty members that attended the trip worked hard at building a drop ceiling and building a new floor in the home of 4 Montgomery residents.  We stayed in a Presbyterian church and gained a great amount of knowledge about the cycle of poverty in this area.

 

I return to my internship on Monday the 16th.

Friday, March 6

Today was a very involved day filled with more work on the Dean’s List and President’s List press releases – I think I’m getting close to finishing these!  My supervisor said they should go out next week.

SNOW DAY!

The College was closed today due to the 11 inches of snow that fell over the Delaware Valley, consequently I could not attend my internship ..sigh.

Feb 23 and Feb 27: More Dean’s List and President’s List

On Monday (Feb. 23) and Friday (Feb 27), I worked on the Dean’s List and the President’s List press releases again.  This job is a very involved process which is very time consuming.  Also on Monday, we had our weekly meeting which gave me an outlook on what my colleagues in the office are working on.

 

More to come ..
