Shirley and I spent today in skill development classes sponsored by Residence Life.\u00a0 I was a long day.\u00a0 However, classes touched on many life style issues that the Lyons ladies will face the help and assistance that should be brought to them.<\/p>\n
One thing that I have noted over the last several days of classes is that the subject matter is gear more to care and development of our students rather than to discipline.\u00a0 Many of the sessions are mechanical in nature, for example, this event occurs and then what should the response be.\u00a0 However, many more were interactive and role-playing that stressed the more active give-and-take between student and hall staff.<\/p>\n
As I mentioned before, I am very impressed with the quality and tone of the session that hall staff goes through before the first year student report to the hall.<\/p>\n
We attended a dinner in the North Dining Hall with all of Residence Life and then attended the comissioning Mass at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart.\u00a0 In both events we were with our rector, assistant rector and resident assistant.\u00a0 Over time we are becoming accustomed to the community of Lyons Hall.<\/p>\n
Our next step, and this is a big one, will be actually moving into our apartment.\u00a0 The correct hardware for the bed has been delivered and installed.\u00a0 It is \u201cgo\u201d time.\u00a0 That will be tonight!\u00a0 I am a bit nervous and excited at the same time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
