Ready or not, summer is coming to an end! Just like Billy Madison...it's time to go back to school! Get those last minute summer bucket list items crossed off your list, and get excited for classes to begin. What is the best part about school starting? It means we are that much closer to our Alternative Break Trips! You have completed and received feedback on your Trip Outlines. They are looking great, and we're looking forward to some really thoughtful and impactful trips. Here are a few more things you need to know to reach ABL success.
It's a Date!
Be sure those calendars are marked for our first meeting on Tuesday the 19th at 3:30 in UC 220. If you have a conflict, please let me know asap. It's kind of like ABC's 'the Bachelor', only without the actual date part, exotic locations, private concerts, tears or Chris Harrison...
#ABLove is even better than the Bachelor/ette love, because unlike the show, this kind lasts forever with the lasting impact that is left on each ABL, participant, and community.
1:1's with MaryAnn
Each ABL pair will need to choose a time to meet with me. These informal meetings will happen over the first few weeks of the school year. Be thinking about a time that will work for both you AND your partner to meet with me, so when we schedule these at our first meeting on Tuesday the 19th, things will run smoothly. This will be a great opportunity to get any questions answered and be sure we're all on the same page!
Restaurant Reservations
Have you made yours yet? Even if your trip isn't until this spring, it can't hurt to try! Making a reservation now will make things much easier down the road. Remember, it is still a good idea to check in closer to your trip to be sure your group reservation is still good to go. From burgers to spaghetti, your group will greatly enjoy their meal out!
