Professional Development
One of the exciting benefits of working at Evergreen is that I have the awesome opportunity to visit different places all over the country. Last year, I was able to go to Denver, Colorado for a conference (that was really fun!). Last week I visited beautiful Spokane, Washington. A number of my Evergreen colleagues and myself were able to get together with other professional admissions counselors from colleges and universities around the Northwest. This annual conference is a great time for us to connect and reflect about the previous year’s work. It’s also a great place to learn new ideas and techniques that will make us better at serving students, which is the primary goal of all admissions professionals. I had a wonderful trip with lots of laughs and I met some really great new people. There was also plenty of learning during the classroom-type sessions, as well as an opportunity to check out the Lilac City for a couple days. I took some photos so you can see that the other side of Washington State is just as beautiful as this one.
This was our view from dinner the first night we stayed in Spokane. The river was raging!
An art piece from the Spokane Art Museum. We were lucky enough to be able to view all the galleries, and there was really unique and exciting stuff for us to check out. Oh yeah - we also saw a piece on display from one of our faculty here at Evergreen... Impressive work!!
