Some thoughts on the past semester....

As a new member of XCEL this semester, I just wanted to mention how much fun I’ve had, and how much I’ve learned. It’s been a really great experience. I’ve truly enjoyed working with all of you.

We made really great progress with Leadership Lately. We learned a lot about putting together a bigger publication, and I’m ready to do it again next semester. This week, there was a new XLC (Justin, I believe his name was) who came in for shadowing and he was looking at the magazine. He mentioned that we should put some leadership crossword puzzles in it. I thought that was pretty funny since we discussed it, but never actually got to it. I guess it’s something we should consider for our next issue.

In news not necessarily pertaining to the Publications Team, everyone should keep an eye out for the new Public Speaking Program that is going to make its big debut early next semester. Ani has made some great ads for it, and I have some really funny “bad presentations” from Viktorija, Yann, and Yelena. So encourage anyone you know who wants to brush up on their public speaking skills to sign up for the program early next semester.

I hope everyone has a safe trip home, and a great holiday! See you next year :-)
