Today is my final day as an enrollment counselor and recruiter for Western Seminary. I held this position for almost three years. It has been a good job. I have learned a lot about academics and how educational institutions function. I have developed better customer service and public speaking skills. Most importantly, I worked with some wonderful people. I had the best co-workers. I will miss them.
It was time to change scenery though. Of course, I am moving to Texas so I couldn’t work for the seminary any longer (though I am doing adjunct/support work through the Center for Lifelong Learning, i.e., online studies). Even so, I think I had done everything I wanted to do on the job. I have accomplished the goals I set. I feel quite satisfied with the work I have done since late 2009.
My friend Luke Todd is replacing me (blogs at What I See, sometimes). This was a good hire. He will do well.
So it is time to say goodbye, Western Seminary. Thank you for the memories. It was fun!
Thanks for a great few years! I’d tell you to have fun in Texas, but I can’t figure out how those words go together. But I wish you all the best anyway.
Ha! Thanks Marc, I’ll do my best to find the fun hidden in the Republic of Texas. 🙂
Thanks for your (and Miranda’s) ministry to Grace Bible Church, Brian! I hope you and Miranda have a great trip south. Have you got a rodeo belt buckle yet?
Thanks for letting us co-labor with you in Portland for a bit. I do have a large Texas belt buckle oddly enough. I received it when I preached a youth camp in Houston about seven years ago!
Thanks Brian, It’s going to be fun to follow in your footsteps in a few different ways. Also, thanks for reminding me that I have a blog. Once I figure out how to do everything here, hopefully I’ll get back to writing a bit more!
I hope to see you blogging again soon and I hope your first couple weeks on the job have been great!
