Is Anyone Else Ready for the Summer?

Because I am. I'm not sure what I will be doing this summer, but I'm already ready for school to come to a close... Done in May!

Anyway, it is a pretty exciting time in the office right now. The students for the new Higher Education master's cohort had their accepted students' day on Monday. Interviews for the graduate assistantships have begun and it's interesting to meet and interview the people that are where I was this time last year. Other programs are also having events for admitted students, so there's a lot of energy around GSE this month!

Also, Penn GSE is hosting an event for college juniors from historically Black and Latino serving insitutions. That begins tomorrow and ends on Sunday... Hopefully they're inspired to go to graduate school in education after this weekend!

The Final Two

We're already down to the final two months or so of school... Nuts! These last eight weeks should go by quickly. And in case you're wondering, our comps results have not been released yet... Sillll waiting on that. Saying the Final Two reminds me of the Final Four coming up at the beginning of next month (over Easter weekend)... Which I will be attending! Woooooo.

On another note, the weather has decided to take a turn for the worse... It's so rainy and gross outside today. This weekend was beautiful, though. Spring is offically here and at least it's not snowing and freezing otuside. (I just jinxed it).
