Reaching Lifelong Goals

Happy Non Traditional Student Week!!    This week, November 2-7 is National Non Traditional Student Week!!   Yippeee!!   I found this information online, not at my campus.   While I am still taking my Math courses at a community college, I do have ties to Oregon State starting next term.   OSU has a Non Traditional Student Taskforce which I am going to support.   To my knowledge, there is no “planned” activities for Non Trad Week.   This is probably because Non Trad students are the busiest students on any campus.   This special week falls during some schools mid term exams…good timing.   I will pass the word around my fellow non trads, maybe we can celebrate over a cup of coffee.  I will put this week in my calendar for next year and make darn sure there is the proper recognition publicly.   I spent the last weekend working on a paper for ENG 201, so I was not planning any special events for this week.   I’ll do better next year!    If your campus Non Traditional Student group has any activities for this special week, be sure and post a comment about them so we can get the word out.   I have read some articles in a couple of East Coast college newspapers that are online, but so far nothing from this side of the nation.
