A big warm “hi friends” from Central Kentucky home to the Red Wings Shoe Factory, Centre College and the hub of all things related to the Developmental Resource Center (DRC). A few things you should know about me: 1) I love analogies, and 2) I am truly committed to making the DRC the best it can possibly be. I feel honored, priviliged and a little bit nervous about being the point person overseeing the DRC simply due to the fact that this resource can be such a valuable tool for us as professionals if it is done right and nothing more than a stack of glossy paper if it is not executed appropriately. To me it is the difference between receiving a care package from your Grandma versus another political add flyer in the mail (read … something you are dying to get your hands on versus something you would use to line your bird cage). Clearly I would like the DRC to be more congruent with the former than the later.
Now here is where I need your help, when I think of the DRC I cannot help but compare it to the conclusion of Abe Lincoln’s Gettysburg address “of the people, by the people, for the people.” No matter how excited I am about the DRC it cannot be a success without you and all of the fabulous resources you have created in recent history or in years past (think of bell bottoms, aviator glasses and faux fur - the things that keep coming back because, let’s face it, they work). Everyone has something to contribute, for the betterment of your colleagues and the professional development movement we call fraternity and sorority advising. I am excited to see what kind of resources people contribute and would like to thank you in advance for your submission, I appreciate it!
Don't forget to submit your DRC materials to Melissa by November 15th!
