Over the past week, I actually had two really cool
opportunities. I had two experiences
involving CSB|SJU. The first of these
was on Friday afternoon, when I met the professor and several of the Bennies
and Johnnies studying in Athens right now.
Not only did I enjoy a tasty lentil soup with salad, bread, and a cheese
pie, but I got to talk with fellow Minnesotans about the CSB|SJU fall, the
football team’s surprisingly good showing so far this season, and general life
in St. Joseph, MN. It was good to be
among people who were as excited as I was to see the weather starting to
change.
A few days later, I became the unofficial representative of
CSB|SJU at the United States University Fair at the Crown Plaza Hotel in
Athens. This was an event sponsored by
the Fulbright Foundation in Greece for universities across the United States to
recruit among Greek students. Although I
had no experience with this type of event and minimal training, I think it went
really well. I got to talk to a lot of
people about some awesome schools, plus I gained two things: a black CSB|SJU
banner (currently being used as the curtain of my bedroom) and a nice CSB|SJU
polo. Love it.
I'll leave you with a song that comes to mind as I write this post.
High above the Sagatagan,
Towering o'er the oak and pine,
Proudly stands our alma mater,
Ever let her beacon shine.
Alma mater we'll be loyal,
Ever love and praise thy name.
Hail, all hail Saint John's our mother,
We thy honor will proclaim.
