Meeting

Last week on Wednesday I had a meeting with two individuals who are responsible for hiring the new president for Berkeley College. Nine other students and I were invited to speak to these people on behalf of the students about what we are looking for in a new president and what we expect of them. The meeting started at 2pm and went on for about an hour.

When I first got there, we were offered pizza for lunch and as a small thank you for participating which was really nice. We had to meet up about 45 minutes early so that we could discuss answers to questions that would be asked and share our ideas with each other. Each person had interesting input and we were able to come up with a bunch of constructive things to say.

When the two individuals showed up they were very friendly and easy going. We first went through a series of introductions between the individuals and students before proceeding to the main discussion. Due to their easy going approach, the students were able to speak up and say what was really on their mind. I’m sure this helped them gather a lot of good feedback and will aid in making a decision in support of what the students are looking for in a president. I really enjoyed my time, being able to network and provide input towards the process to hire a new president, it was a great experience!
