As part of the preceptor role in the Business Communications class, I acted as moderator for one of 20 rooms full of dapperly dressed Juniors ready with their big Case Competition presentations. Six teams of 4-6 students were assigned to my room and made PowerPoint presentations to a panel of local executives. This year's case was GEICO insurance company, who asked them to give ideas on how to reach and retain young people such as themselves. Some had creative ideas and some not-so-creative - but it was fun and I was glad to avoid presenting this year. Moderator I can do!
In the midst of this end-of-semester angst, my hubby snagged himself a modest promotion which requires showing up for work about 1,400 miles from Tucson! So the rush to get him ready has somewhat interfered with my school work. Now that he is packed off to Idaho, though, there is much to do before I am finally awarded grades for this long semester (don't much care what grades they are at this point!). Then I will have an 8-day break before winter session and Microeconomics looms. I think a quick trip to Idaho might just be the escape I need!
