Day 23


Along with the day to day tasks associated with running a hotel/conference center, the University places high value on educational opportunities. There are various avaenues available for training on campus. Some are specific to our jobs, such as a new program that is being instituted, and some are more general to help with employees devlelop amagement and leadership skills. I had the privelede of hearing this from Fr. Jenkins and John Affleck-Graves as they held one of several Town Hall Meetings. This was a great forum for them to keep the employees informed of all that is happening at the University. The response has been great, and was met with Standing room only attendance.


Tuesday night was a new adventure for me as I was invited to an event that was held in the Penthouse of the Hesburgh Library. These are VIP events scheduled through the Office of Special Events. and our staff caters all of these functions. This particular event was a retirement party for one of the Officers and turned out to be a great night. The food and service of these events are always impeccable, and combined with the breathtaking views of campus this is a always a special memory for those invited.
