Life After Connecticut College

Howdy peeps!

Now that we're at the very end of our fiscal year here at CC (praise to the sweet lord Krishna), I thought I'd take a minute and thank the thousands of alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff, and friends of Connecticut College who have already supported the school this year. You guys are great!!

If you haven't given yet and still want to do so, you've got until tomorrow (Friday), so log on to http://giving.conncoll.edu and make a gift of any amount. Your support is very much appreciated!

SHHH, you guys, be cool! There are only two weeks left in our fiscal year here at Conn, so the last thing I should be doing is blogging, but I just wanted to check in with you to let you know I'm still alive (like anyone is going to give me money at 9am anyway).

Surprisingly, things aren't looking too bad despite the economy. I think a lot of that is due to the fact that Camels like y'all out there realize that today's students need our support more than ever right now. Just to be safe, however, I've been dressing up as Santa and collecting donations in front of Wal-Mart with a Salvation Army bucket (don't worry, I wrote "a.k.a. Connecticut College Annual Fund" in small type on the back of the bucket, so it's all legit).

That having been said, I encourage absolutely everyone out there to make a gift before June 30. A donation of any amount really does make a big difference for today's students, so visit http://giving.conncoll.edu today.

Well, it's back to the grind for this guy, but be well and enjoy the summertime!

Much love,

C-Rex

Happy June, everybody!

It's been over a month since I've posted, not because I don't love y'all, but because it's officially the busy season here in the Connecticut College Office of College Advancement Office (I know, the name of the department is kinda redundant overkill). It's also the sunny season, which makes it a little harder to focus than I would like (maybe I can sandproof my laptop and work remotely from the beach...). Things have definitely been crazy lately, but the end of our fiscal year is on the horizon so we're all keeping ourselves motivated with the promise of sweet, sweet vacation days, due to arrive in about six weeks (I'm blowing all of mine on day trips to the historically significant habidasheries of southern New England).
