As an undergraduate, I attended the University of Kansas. This was not surprising as my father used to sing me to sleep with the alma mater and the Rock Chalk chant. A perk of being a parent, I suppose; you get to influence your kiddo early.
I was a third-generation Jayhawk and I take my KU heritage seriously. It just so happened that when I arrived at KU, I wanted to major in journalism and I graduated with a degree as such.
Since I'm not so much a full-time (or even sometimes) journalist now, I like to point out moments in my working world when I do use the myriad skills I learned as a student at the William Allen White School of Journalism. It's my way of making my Dad feel better about supporting that four (and a half...shh) year endeavor.
And today is one of those very make-Dad-proud kind of days. It's program book day!
Yes, the 30-some page guidebook that you will receive when you check-in at the Annual Meeting begins the writing and editing cycle almost three months before it lands in your hands. And today we send the information to associate member Innova for them to work their design magic.
My eyes are officially crossed from the days of editing but at least I know Professor Eblen would be proud of how many dependent clauses now are comma free.
BTW, have you registered for the Annual Meeting yet? You know there are only 19 days left until the registration deadline!
