So Long, Farewell...

So this is my last blog! :(

I will be graduating from Adrian College this Sunday, May 3rd. It’s pretty crazy to think that all four years of College have passed by. Graduation will be bittersweet for me on Sunday. I have absolutely loved my time here at Adrian and the people I have met along the way. However, I also feel like it is time for the next chapter of my life. The relationships I’ve made from faculty to friends to acquaintances are far more than one could ever hope to find at a larger school. That’s what I love about Adrian -- the close personal relationships you can have with people all over the entire campus. The saddest part will be leaving those people who I’ve seen almost daily, those people who have shaped me into who I am today. So I sign off with one piece of parting advice -- Do whatever it takes to make yourself happy and don’t settle for anything less.

BYE AC!!!!

Thanks for the amazing memories!

End of the Year

Good Day Bloggers,

This will be my last blog for the school year, and I have to say I enjoyed every moment of it. So let's get on to some stories. I am the new student government president and I have taken on some big responsibilities in these last two weeks. I have been invited to the graduation celebration where I will be holding the sacred Shepherd's Crook. Plus, I will be having lunch with the CEO/President of La-Z-Boy. Awesome.

(I'm going to review my past week in reverse order, so don't get too confused!)
Most recently, Student Government hosted their annual Pancakes Under the Moon for a stress buster for the student body. We collaborated with Campus Activities Network (CAN) to play BINGO!

This past Sunday, Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) hosted their 2nd Annual Field Day with the YMCA. Even after a rough track meet at Hillsdale on Saturday, I spent three hours of my life playing with the children. I enjoyed every moment of it. Of course the kids did too as the athletes spent time with them as well as educating them on different sports. (As seen in the photo below, I showed an AC staff member's daughter how to shot-put.)

Saturday night, I attended ASA's Formal at the Lenawee County Country Club. It was a beautiful place and a nice golf course. I escorted the beautiful Tiffany Taylor to the event and I was their as she won the award of "MOST LIKELY TO BE A SUPERSTAR."

Finally, Gina Relays in Hillsdale, MI is always fun. I ran against top schools and ran to the best of my abilities in the open 400 meter dash, 110 meter hurdles, and 400 IM hurdles.

Well like I said, this is the final blog of the school year. I hope you enjoyed. I am going through finals currently, and I have the MIAA Conference meet Thursday and Friday. For those Juniors/Seniors in high school reading, keep working hard and if you guys ever need something, find me on facebook. Enjoy your summer.

SGA update!

In last week's blog, we were waiting for the results of the Student Government Elections. Before we talk politics, we will go into the track meet. This week we went to Eastern Michigan University. We raced against the Division I schools such as Michigan, Indiana Tech, DePaul, and Central Michigan University. This was a non scoring track meet, but Adrian College held their own against the top schools.

After holding two debates, I won the Presidential Seat for Student Government. In action so far I have had a fellow Tekke brother create a SGA logo. I also established an Executive Board for the organization.

Finally, I was accepted into Siena Heights' McNair Program that will guide and educate me to get my masters in my major. That is all I have so far until next week and we are going into finals this week so I will be studying real hard.

Ribbons of Excellence

Hey All!

On Wednesday April 8th, Adrian College held their first Ribbons of Excellence Day. Faculty and students came together to celebrate the academic and creative achievements of the students. This day was to encourage new knowledge out of the classroom. It was a pretty big deal as the whole campus canceled classes for the day. I attended four student presentations total. All departments were apart of this day so it was interesting to listen in and learn about fields other than business. It was cool to see what other students have been working on and learning about through their time at Adrian. Below are some photos from some of the presentations!

Kourtney's Weekly Report

Good Afternoon Bloggers,

What a busy week last week! Here's a rundown of what it was like:

Starting Monday, I had a rough practice on the windy track and followed by an SGA meeting in the Hickman Board Room. We discussed 'Pancakes under the Moon' for a stress-buster the week of final exams.

Tuesday, I had an informal debate for Student Government Elections. Shane Hinson, Caitlan Lake, Jon Wittkop, Matt Stiller, and myself debated in Caine Student Center where we were asked questions by the student body.

Wednesday was Ribbons of Excellence Day and I participated in the Model Arab League. We debated about other countries issues and resolutions to hep the Arab States prosper. Later that night, I was in the Feminist Empowerment Movement meeting and we discussed building the organization up both internally and externally, and we put the final details in place for their "What is Feminism?" Forum that was to be held Monday April 13 in Knight Auditorium.

Thursday was easy and Friday was Good Friday. (A nice relaxing little break before the big meet on Saturday!!)

Saturday was the big day for the Adrian College track stars as AC hosted the MIAA Jamboree. I participated in the 110m Hurdles, open 400m dash, 400m hurdles, and the 1600 relay. Adrian College men's team placed 4th in the conference meet. Overall, busy week and it gets busier by the day.

The Future....

Now that I am almost finished with my junior year of college, my post Adrian College life is starting to dwell on me. My goal is to attend dental school following graduation next year. However, I have underestimated the amount of work that is necessary prior to applying to a graduate school. On top of classes winding down and final tests just around the corner, the addition of extra requirements makes these final few weeks of the year a little more stressful. The past two weeks I have been slammed with calls to colleges and the career planning office for summer classes, internships, and resume building. So a bit of advice: have your future in mind and always prepare for it. Even with all of the extra responsibilities I am still confident in my decision and my abilities to be accepted to an excellent dental school.
