Faculty members and staff can have a big impact on people in their college careers. They teach us, help us when we need it, and let us know about new and cool opportunities.
I am a business-MIS major, but I have yet to take any MIS courses because I have to complete the pre-business program first. My MIS instructors are the people that I plan to get to know well because I will be having many classes with them, they are in my major area, there may be possibilities for research with them, and hopefully they will like me enough to write my letters of recommendation.
I'm taking pretty general classes right now, so I haven't got to know any of my professors, but I do have some pretty good mentors! *cough cough Shane and Heidi cough* [cookies on Wednesday, Heidi? :)] My business class mentor Jamison has been a good mentor too. He has been pretty cool and good with helping to get to know the business building and how the business program works.
Although I haven't got to know any of my professors yet, I plan to start when I get more into my major area. The mentors that I've had have been a really good, have helped a lot, and have given some great tips on what kind of things I should do.
Yeah, I would say that our two mentors are pretty good and easy to get along with :)
ReplyDeleteI think since you so graciously mentioned Shane and Heidi we should get monster cookies Wednesday!!
ReplyDeleteYou guys know i love to eat so cookies is fine with me! and jasenn, i dont blame you for waiting til you get more into your "major" classes to get to know the professors
ReplyDeleteYeah i'm kinda in the same boat, because i have so many general classes right now so i dont know my professors yet. But my counselor is pretty awesome too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of suck ups haha. It is good to find contacts early. I am sure there will be tons of people you will meet along the way. But am very glad you already have some awesome mentors.
ReplyDeleteIts ok Jasenn im sure in the future youll find some professors that youll really love. but aleast you found some mentors
ReplyDeletesome of the best mentors are the ones in the same fields. its great that u have jamison
ReplyDeleteNice attempt at flattery. I hope it gets us cookies.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm, cookies. :) It'll be good to get through the pre-business classes and get down to things that pertain to your major. Good luck with it!
ReplyDeletehaha i agree about the mentors!
ReplyDeleteHaha cookies, hmmm... you'll just have to wait and see :).
ReplyDeleteMentors are always a really great source to have especially with being in general class areas and not having the opportunity to interact much with professors in your major yet.
ReplyDeleteI think that I am in the same boat you are. Heidi and Shane have been great though.
ReplyDeleteIts hard to get close to a professor of a large general lecture. HEIDI AND SHANE ARE AWESOME!!!
