Since my last post, I've done weeks "on the road" for daily high school visits. One week I visited the suburbs of western Cook County and the following week I was in the greater Madison area. I also had a SUPER-busy fair at College of Lake County in IL. The CLC ICE fair is for all high school students in Lake County, IL. I was glad Mary Beuscher (our Pre-health Advisor) and Trudy Biehn, (Business Advisor), came along to assist and meet with students interested in their areas of study. All night we had a crowd at our table. Trudy had no voice at the end of the night. I cannot thank them enough for coming along - we were swamped with students and it was great!
There have been some nights over the last couple weeks that I had "off," (as in no evening college fairs). On nights like these when staying in a hotel, one can only watch so much election coverage and reality shows. So I decided to figure out a creative way to put some UW-P pictures to music to present at recruiting events. I found a free program called Picasa and became addicted. I'm now "a slide show nerd." Here's one of them (turn up your volume - I used one of my favorite songs whose lyrics fit with many of the pictures):

Even though he's a White Sox fan, I wanted to give a plug to Counselor Joe Tullo at Mundelein High School in Mundelein, IL. I had a great visit again at Mundelein and Joe always makes time to chat with me to learn about what's new at UW-P (and he always manages to have a joke or some cartoon to tease me about my beloved Cubbies!). Joe and his staff have one of the best high school college/career web pages that I've ever seen! He has some great resources on it - that are of use to all students.

PS: We're in the midst of UW-P's Experience Days! Have you signed up to attend one of them? Check out the who, what, where and when of Experience Days at: http://www.uwp.edu/admissions/eventsa.cfm
See you on the road,
