A few thoughts from my first week on the road in New York:
- In a previous post, I alluded to the apparel worn at a college fair by the rep from a certain school in New York. I am happy to report that said rep came to the first of this week's fairs in business attire. Way to go!
- Two older alumni from a certain school on the East Belt Line stopped by my table on Tuesday night. They were very kind and encouraging of our being out in New York, and one of them proceeded to ask me how it is that I emphasize the Christian character of Hope to prospective students. I think I heard the other say under their breath, "like you have one."
- Kettering University (coincidentally, my future brother-in-law's alma mater) was also out at the fairs this week. Kudos to them for having a snappy new logo and an excellent admissions microsite.
- It's a very small world. I was standing next to Messiah at one fair, and the guy from there went to school with a student who transferred from Messiah to Hope. The guy from Hope actually did a college fair for us the same day! Did you get all of that?
- Wednesday brought a flat tire! Thankfully, I have AAA and they came out reasonably fast. I am so glad for that!
- You think my iPhone obsession is abnormal? Nearly every rep I saw had some kind of Blackberry, Palm, or other phone with keyboard. They're so hot right now.
- Showing up to the fair does matter! Said of Hobart/William Smith on Wednesday night, "Oh... Hobart didn't show up."
