Well, I've finally arrived home after spending the weekend meeting a number of online students and faculty at the AUO Atlanta residency. It was a blast and extremely rewarding. I figured I should finish what I started. Here is what happened on Saturday
Day 3
On the second day I set up shop and waited for a number of appoints that had been scheduled the night before. Of the 11 who signed up for sessions, only 6 actually came in. Day 3, however, was a whole different story. I was going from 8 am to 2:45 pm with students coming in every 15 minutes. I was able to see 17 students over all and answered questions ranging from specific reference research (mainly students in the psychology program) to APA style. I also found out that there ere 280 students at the conference; 110 in the psychology program, 90 in the education program, and the rest were made up of Business (DBA) and Organizational Leadership. I also gave two presentations that afternoon, one to the Residency II students (those who have either taken comps or will soon) and the Psychology students.
After the day had concluded, the cadre had a very nice dinner at the City Restaurant (I think that was the name of it), which was formerly a Federal Reserve building (lots of marble). It was great!
Day 4
The last day of the residency was as smooth as can be. I had two presentations in the morning and headed to the airport around 12:30. My flight didn't leave until 3:30, but I thought it would be a great opportunity to grade some papers. On the way home, I listened to 80's music on the XM satellite and took pictures of the clouds, the ground, and the cabin (I actually got a window seat!). The other passengers probably thought I was a little off with all the snapping that was going on.
