Site Visits Round 1!

Last week, I had the great fortune to travel on site visits all over the South. It was amazing and so inspiring to spend a week interacting in person with chapters instead of sitting in front of my computer all day at the national office in San Francisco :)

Highlights include:

• Being present for the very first mentor session at University of Georgia led by the fabulously upbeat Ellie Schultz
• Savoring the delicious feta fries from the famous "The Grill" in Athens, GA over a productive meeting with the UGA Executive Board
• Staying up till 3am for a passionate brainstorming session with Jonathan Safron of Vanderbilt, despite the important debate he was scheduled to participate in the next day (what a trooper!)
 
 
• Attending a mentoring session at Northwood High School in Pittsboro, NC with the University of North Carolina chapter--I was so impressed about how ready for college those students were!
• Watching more late night Jersey Shore than I've ever seen with Chapter Director Wes Wollard at UNC
