Switching Gears

I've learned a lot since moving, of course, but my new job has really introduced me to some new exciting realms. First, and foremost, I'm learning the art of the business known as fundraising. This is for higher ed, so it's a little different, but it's still a huge switch for me. I always insist that I couldn't go the sales route if my life depended on it; however, after working my first big fundraising event, the Cresset Dinner, last Saturday (picture above), I've realized I am not so bad at it as I first assumed.

In any case, more discussion on this at a later date...when I'm not cranking out huge papers.
