It happens every year

The Bean in Millennium Park-Chicago
Every summer, we say we can't believe it's already August. A few years ago, Jill made the comment that once the Fourth of July hits, summer is essentially over. I couldn't bear to hear that and told myself it wasn't true. But maybe there is some truth to it. In August, Tina and I were able to attend a regional conference in Chicago for colleges and employers. It gave us a chance to get away and learn about new ideas, best practices and hot topics. It feels like it was already a long time ago and it hasn't even been a month! When we returned, of course we said we couldn't believe school started in mere weeks...then ONE week...then TOMORROW! Even though we always wish we had time to finish one more project before summer break slipped away, we are happy to have more students back on campus. We are excited about our upcoming classroom presentations, our waiting area's new look (check it out!) and our new iPad to use for student satisfaction surveys. We are having a career fair this October and already have seven employers scheduled for fall on-campus recruiting visits. It will be another busy year, and we look forward to working with you! Welcome back!
