Good News

Yesssss!

I am being offered a new set of responsibilities at work, and while the formal promotion won't happen until summer, I'm elated!

In a nutshell, I'll be covering two positions from now 'til July: I will still be responsible for my recruitment territory, the web/portal stuff and my other communication duties. I will also be working with students from New York and maintaining the processes regarding alumni referrals, alumni contact requests and other things related to our external constituencies. I get to keep my current student intern plus another one, and we're hoping to hire another rep to shadow me and provide assistance with recruitment. This summer, I will make my formal transition from senior assistant director to associate director and will negotiate my salary increase, which will include appropriate compensation for my vehicle. I made it clear that I expect the powers that be to compensate me appropriately in return for my loyalty and performance, and they assured me they have every intention of doing so. As far as job duties go, I'll have all the alumni and external constituency stuff, probably New York recruitment (since the bulk of the effort there revolve around building an alumni base), and most of my web/portal/communication duties. This means no more extended fall travel, and that completing my MBA in just 15 months (provided I get into U of M Flint) is looking much more possible!

It's daunting - but wahoo! Such blessings...
