Before this past weekend I never thought that I would ride in a minivan for about 9-12hrs to Buckhanon, West Virginia. Well now I can say I somewhat accomplished something in my life. The conference was an eye opener and a learning experience to a lot of things. I brought back a lot of information about homeless and hunger awareness. I also was able to network with other bonner programs and see what they were doing at their schools. Overall the trip was really fun even though I missed a lot more at Siena, I think that the trip gave us more bonding time then just our weekly meetings. From the longest minivan ride of my life, to the 88 lounge, and West Virginia Wesleyan College, these memories I will always cherish. BONNER LOVE!
I have an idea. I think that we should get bonner shirts! Many schools had their own bonner shirts and I wanted one. So maybe we can put that into action for either next semester or next school year.
For the admissions committee, I believed that I already stated this in last week's meeting that one of our recruitment ideas is to hopefully host the multicutural overnights, have one of us on the student panel, or if time permits have a short 15-30 minute presentation about the bonner program to hopefully recruit more minorities to the program and on campus which would be a plus if successful. Another is that the admissions committee need to set up a meeting with admissions to see if one of our bonner students are able to go on tour with admissions to the receptions that they have along the East Coast. We also need to hold a forum for upperclassmen applicants the beginning of next semester to fill in the empty spots. I can not wait for the day when I do not have to explain what the bonner program is to Siena students and it becomes common knowledge.
Bonner love,
Tai
