Christmas at Grace

Because I am old, or, at least older than most in the enrollment division, it has taken me nearly a week to make this post to our blog. But last Friday night, the entire admissions team got together for a wonderful Christmas party at CE National. First, what a fabulous facility we used on their campus--which is adjacent to Grace! But what a great time it was to laugh and talk with the Ambassadors and admissions staff.

Of course, there was plenty of great food, which we all enjoyed. But the sense of this group being a team was very rewarding to me. And, the presents from the White Elephant game was truly special. I still can't believe I went home with an ice cube tray.

When I get the photo of the group from Katie, I will try to post it to this blog so you can see a part of the group. But until then, you'll have to trust me that it was a great night.

Oh, did I tell you that I won the game of Uno? It wasn't even close!

Christmas and Parties!!

I love all the holiday and the parties that go on. Even if you see people on a regular basis, it is still fun to get together and just laugh and relax. This is a picture of some of the admission staff at our office party last Friday night. The highlight of the evening was the white elephant gift exchange - where do people come up with their gifts? Of course some people had brought a nice gift which everyone fought over. I think I walked away with the prized worst gift award! Merry Merry Christmas! Hope all your white elephants are full of laughs!

Have you seen?

Have you noticed the quality of the student ambassadors? They never cease to amaze me. Just today I saw several of the "guys" step in and help the office staff or a counselor on a project. Now, I could name names if I wanted, but I don't want to embarrass any of them. Well, do I? I guess not, but let me say this in closing, if I were a parent of a prospective student who was looking at colleges, I would want my child to be the type of students at Grace, especially the ambassadors. They are truly special!
