How Can Guest Speakers Enhance Your Professional Meetings?

[dianevill]

I played softball against Stritch numerous times in college.

Mount Mary - well all I know about them is that MSOE would have dances with them so girls would be there. There was a 10 to 1 ratio of men to women when I went to MSOE and the few of us there did NOT want to be dating the guys...they were too...well, pushy, desperate...granted, there were a few nice guys, but the desperate ones bugged us too much to see the nice ones!

LOL - I was on the student board at Mt. Mary, and you're right, we'd have dances with the MSOE guys. I was engaged throughout most of college (afer my stint at UW) so I missed all the fun (actually before meeting my fiance I did date an MSOE guy but I didn't meet him through school).

The Stritch program I was in was for working adults and classes were at night. I was one of the youngest by far, so there would have been a lot of old farts on the team - they would have been easy to beat!

I graduated from MATC (Milwaukee Area Tech College) in nursing. 10+ years later I attended UW-Milwaukee for about 2 years, majoring in accounting but didn't finish. We moved and I had 2 more kids...

I did my BS at Texas Christian University where I was a Political Science major with a Pre-Law emphasis and History minor. I am now working on my M.A. in Leadership in Student Affairs at the University of St. Thomas up here in MN. My bachelors was pretty expensive (not so much for me - my loans were minimal, but for my Dad), but most definitely worth it. My Masters is turning out to be very expensive but an incredible experience! I love every minute of my classes!

Do you mind if I ask how long ago you graduated from TCU? I know someone whose wife went there. I'd imagine she graduated between '92-'95.

I hold an Associate of Science (Humanities Interest) from McHenry County College in Illinois. Four years later I ended up in the studio arts department at the University of Minnesota getting a BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) in sculpture and glass blowing.

I went to U Windsor. I got a degree in Psych with a second major in music. Total waste of time and bunches of money.

I graduated from Catawba College in NC. Got a swimming scholarship which helped BIG time. Majored in Theraputic Recreation with a minor in Psychology. Now I work as a secretary at a hospital and HATE IT. Trying to go back to school for something. I was on the wait list at University of Dayton for their physical therapy program but did not get in. Now thinking about teaching or sign language interpreter.

I went to North Dakota State University for 4 years in Fargo, ND and then DH moved to NE with a friend so I moved here to be with him and finished my degree here at University of Nebraska at Omaha. I have a BSBA emphasis in Human Resources.

Yes it is worth it as I met my DH in college!!!!! I have to admit with being a SAHM now, it is a pretty expensive piece of paper!!!!

Where did you go for high education and overall was it worth it?

I go my AA degree from Lake Superior College in Duluth, MN in Dec. of 2004. I am attending there now for the Medical Transcription certificate. I will be done in May.

The AA would maybe be worth it if I did go back for a Bachelor's Degree, which was my original plan. I know the trascription certificate will be a good thing. I'm hoping to be able to work at home eventually, doing transcription. My SIL works for the local clinic out of her home. The flexibility will be nice.

I went to Sheridan College (in Wyoming) for one year - stopped to train horses full time for a few years

Took one class in Arizona at Glendale College & then moved back home and went back to Sheridan College & then to University of Wyoming. Messed around here and then quit, wanted to be back outside and went back to training horses and then went to work for the RR.

Got married had a baby and then decided to go back to school. Sheridan College again, this time got a certificate and then an associates. Moved back to University of Wyoming and followed through and got my BS. On and off for 16 years but got it done.

It was very much worth it. I see many of the business practices that was taught in school in both my full time job and with PC.

I took courses I needed to know what I was doing as a bookkeeper at a local community college. It helped greatly and my employer at the time paid for it which was even better! They were hard in that I had to fit in classes (in a summer compressed schedule - 15 weeks of instruction in about 5 or 6 weeks time), study, projects, working full time and being a single mom. I still don't know how I managed to do it but I did. Got good grades. Didn't earn a degree but definitely excelled in what I did at work.
