The Price is RIGHT!

11/05/2009

Happy Thursday Night!

Today was a special day for the Admissions staff & the Ambassadors. We welcomed about 60 guidance counselors from area high schools to participate in IU East's annual Counselor's Appreciation Breakfast. During this special event, counselors are treated to a great breakfast, and they are handed scholarship money for their seniors. However, today over 7 million dollars were handed out to the counselors! In fact, each counselor went back to their high schools with over $100,000 (I can't remember the exact number); which, in turn, will give two deserving students full rides to IU East! I was so ecstatic for our campus to give out a great amount of money to help future Red Wolves pay for their quality college education! :)

However, the counselors had to work for their money. In order to get their money, they had to play "The Price is Right" with John Dalton (a.k.a. Bob Barker). John was an excellent host! I think he might have missed his true calling as a game show host! HAHA! Unfortunately, dorky me forgot her camera at home - so I did not get any pictures or video from the event. :( Sorry John...I guess you won't be the big star in a video this time around. So, if anyone out there has some pictures from the event they would like to share, please contact me and I will get those pictures up ASAP!

I have noticed that as the semester winds down and crunch time settles in, we all have gotten a little grumpy. So, for your viewing pleasure (and entertainment)....please welcome Sherman the Monkey!

HAHA! That gets me every time! I hopeĀ it made your day just a little bit brighter!

Well, Red Wolves, I need to get to bed. I have another Ambassador event to work tomorrow morning, and need to get my rest! Please take care of yourselves!

HOWL!
