Hi all- so here it is- my "blog." My mother doesn't like the word blog so I will call it a journal. Here is my journal for the next five weeks while I am interning at the University of West Indies (UWI- pronounced "you-e"). I will be working in their Student Services department which is comparable to the Student Affairs department in the US higher education system. They do not have Greek life so I am looking at admissions, athletics, housing, and student activities. I am trying to get my hands into as much as I can to learn the differences between a school in the US verses a school in the Caribbean. I am interested in how the culture affects the student retention and interest in student affairs. I will be in Jamaica from June 10 through July 15, 2010.
Although there are some safety concerns in regards to the civil unrest in Kingston and the surrounding areas, I am quite excited to get to Jamaica. I hope to post quite often to really document this trip. Please feel free to comment. Have a great summer!
