Today was my first day working in the development office/ alumni relations. The office is located upstairs in the admissions building. Once I arrived, Bonnie gave me a tour of the office and introduced me to everyone working there. After the introduction, we quickly jumped into our first task of helping for the preparation of graduation. Wes and I were asked to go to the dining hall and to count all the plates that they had. It actually didn't take as long as you would have thought. We needed to know the number of plates they had which would be used on the day of graduation. Afterward, we spent the afternoon cutting and organizing notecards that would be placed tables for senior dinner. We also helped plan a reunion for the class of '72, '71, '70 by finding photos of all the students and putting their faces from their yearbook on a pin at which they would wear during the reunion. After today, I feel excited for the next two weeks and how much we will be able to accomplish by the end of senior project.

Today, we spent the majority finishing up the pins for the upcoming 50th reunion. Once cutting out the photos of every student, we wrote their names on the back and then placed them in a plastic pin. After finishing the pins, we began our next task of packaging gifts for people that recently donated. We gave them coasters with the Proctor symbol on them and then tied a ribbon on them. Half way through the day, Brian and all the other employees in the development office had a meeting which I was a part of. They talked about the whole schedule for graduation and senior diner along with the order at which everything is going to happen at. Hours spent today: 6 hours. Total hours spent: 19 1/2 hours.

Weekly Reflection #2

 This week flew by very fast and its crazy to think that senior project is just about over. Throughout this week we've been working a lot of small tasks as well as seeing the whole layout for senior dinner. Bonnie and Debbie asked for our help in preparing the seating chart for senior dinner. I was impressed by how organized the chart was and how color coordinated it was. Helping them plan that was the highlight of my week while working here. I'm sad that we are almost done with our time here and I'll miss seeing everyone in the office everyday.
