Hi everyone:

You should see all the snow that we got here a couple of days ago! I was shocked to see that much snow in spring. April Fools!...haha...or as my dad always says, "April Fools for next year." I hope everyone enjoyed their week and, yes, we are now in April.
This past weekend was a busy one on campus. There was the First Annual Mickey Miney Volleyball tournament hosted by the Women's Volleyball team. The tournament was on Saturday and they had a good turnout. Then, Sunday was Accepted Student Day. We had a huge turnout this year! It was nice to get to meet some of the future faces of Mount Aloysius College before I leave. I sat on a question and answer session with a few alumni and was also a part of the informational session regarding my major. I love helping out with these events, because you get to meet and help many people throughout the day, and for the most part everyone is very appreciative. The day was even more exciting for me, because my mom came out to see me for the day. It was nice to have her here and introduce her to everyone.

Tuesday was a busy day for me as well. I participated in the 2nd Annual Service Learning Exposition. I gave a presentation on my service trips to both Honduras and Jamaica. I focused on the lack of physical and psychological assistance in orphanages in poor countries. I love giving presentations about my experiences and I think everyone enjoyed my story. After I was done with my presentation, I went down to the PT Gym to the PT Club's PTA Alumni Social. The club worked with Natalie Vesey from Alumni Relations to host the social. We asked PTA alumni to come back to campus to socialize and network with club members. We updated the alumni on the accomplishments of the club over the past couple of years. In addition, we presented the Office of Institutional Advancement a check for $200 to go toward the Charles Thomas Scholarship Fund. Charles Thomas was a PTA instructor a few years back who passed away. There is now a fund to try and get a scholarship in his name.

This is all for me this week. If you are in Cresson at all this weekend, come to Alumni Hall to see the musical "Edges," playing Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. Enjoy your week and until next time....cya later.
