A good January

Something stupendous happened yesterday.
I had been having big concerns about my balancing of the work load at Sports Academy (A great health club in town where I work) and my academic load. I wanted to find solutions or ways to cope with all the stress, so I made an appointment with my counselor in the college of HASS. When Daniel Matthews and I met this week we looked over my transcript and schedule carefully. We found that I was taking one class that I did not need to graduate. He advised me to speak with the Dean of the School of Political Science.
The Dean’s name is Bobbi Herzburg. I sent her an email shortly after my meeting with Dan Matthews. We set up an appointment to meet. A few days later we met and solved the whole thing. She and I had become friends in Washington D.C. She was quick to recognize what I needed and what I didn’t need. We adjusted my schedule to something that really suited me.
Currently, I work two jobs and have class on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. This leaves me with more time to work on school and work on Monday and Friday so my education can be better rounded out. I think my new schedule is great!
Man I love this school! If you are giving USU a look to see if it’s a good fit, then trust me, this school is tailored to fit. I am consistently pleases with my interactions with fellow students, faculty, staff and advisors.
Come get a tour of USU and meet some of the people here. I don’t know if it’s something in the water or what but I love this school!
