Let’s see if I can drive you crazy with how many comma’s I can use!
At Lourdes College you are in a truly unique place. Today I was sitting in the Rec. office, where I spend a lot of my time, and a gentleman from the MOL program came by to check out what we have to offer. A discussion followed that I felt compelled to share.
As it was I was following my usual pitch. Talking about all the great programs the SAR (Student Activities and Recreation, Dept.) has to offer. The comedy shows, concerts and most importantly the Passport program. It’s so awesome that just for attending sixteen SAR sponsored events, getting your stamps and coming to the Passport party after exams are over you qualify for a top drawing worth 3 free credit hours of class.
Wait, you say, isn’t that worth 1,400 dollars?
Indeed that is correct!
This is not where the conversation stopped. The gentleman continued to tell me that every one he experienced here said hello. This is my next point; Lourdes College is a personable community. I bet you are wondering why community is underlined. Here it is- I define community as a group of like minded persons working towards a greater goal. If you will this group of like minded people is going to consist of your peers, professors, advisors, student service rep. and the administrators. (Don’t be offended, if you’re reading this you are included) The common goal that is shared from one to the next is simple, it’s your goal. As long as your goal is success, then this is your team.
In life you will find that most people are working for a pay check. Straight up, those people still exist here. Lucky for me they don’t know I’m talking about them (probably not reading this). This is the climatic part, hold on tight. Most every person around is truly here to help the students. “Matt how do you know?” is what you’re asking. Well to break it down, and be really blunt, people who work for private colleges don’t get world class pay and they sure don’t get the same benefits as a large state funded university. I’m not calling anyone a pauper, nor, insanely wealthy.
To wrap it up, could you imagine walking down a hall at The University of Toledo, seeing Dr. Jacobs, and having him remember your first name. HA. Laughable isn’t it? Well I can’t tell you how many times the president of Lourdes College, Dr. H., has walked passed me and said “Hello Matt” or asked me how everything is going.
It’s truth, At Lourdes College you are in a truly unique place.
Let me leave you with this à Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. So when you are stuck in a rut maybe it’s not the system that needs to change, its you!
