It's getting to be that time

Hello!!

Summer is beginning to wind down, and that means the fall is quickly approaching. The summer has been a quick but enjoyable one for me this year! I took a trip with my fellow admission counselor, Seth, out to the Boundary Waters in northern Minnesota. It was amazing out there even with lugging all the food/supplies/canoe/kayak around! I also went down to New Orleans for the ELCA youth gathering. It was crazy to see all the youth and their positive impact on the city down there. So if you went, way to go!!

Anywho, the big thing I am doing right now is planning my travel for the upcoming months. A big part of my job in the fall is visit high schools and attend college fairs in order to make sure YOU are informed about what Valpo has to offer. While I do not have my full high school schedule lined up yet, I do know where I will be with college fairs. Hopefully I will be at one near you!

How do you tell when a rice cake has gone stale?
