Butler 101
We had our third Butler 101 today, and I have to admit that events are one of my favorite responsibilities as an Admission Counselor. I love our staff, love getting to meet new students and their families and being on campus. The weather today was absolutely GORGEOUS. We were so lucky that the sun was shining bright and it was a perfect fall day. It was a big crowd, probably 400 or so students and families so we held the event in Clowes Hall. A beautiful venue and the staff there is SO nice! Butler is really lucky to have access to Clowes and have the building on campus.
I was glad to have the BU101 for another reason as well-- getting to see our traveling counselors that have been out on the road! This is our travel time, a period of 4-8 weeks starting in mid-September where we are constantly on the road. High school visits, college fairs, receptions-- you name it, we do it all. It’s not the easiest lifestyle, being gone from family and friends, eating out, living in a hotel, but we manage and it makes the time getting back in November even sweeter. I start my travel tomorrow, Sunday and head to St. Louis. This is really exciting, as I am from St. Louis and get to stay with my family-- home cooked meals, HERE I COME! Nothing beats mom’s home cooked meals, so a week at home seems like somewhat of a luxury.
On a completely unrelated note—I just saw that Butler won the football game today against St. Joe’s, 11-8. We are 3 and 0!!!! I’m so excited for the team, glad that they’ve been able to accomplish such an awesome start to the beginning of their season. Congrats to them, as they’ve definitely earned it!
Next time you’ll hear from me, I’ll be on the road. Get ready for St. Louis/Chicago adventures ’07…. I know I can’t wait!!
