Hours: 8:00am - 4:00pm

1. Began the day by compiling time cards/hours from Orientation Leaders, who over the past couple weeks have become increasingly tardy and inconsistent in completing hours. I've made a commitment to hold my OL's to high standards of professionalism and this is a fundamental part of that. A conversation today revealed that in the past OL's were not held accountable for completing the hours. That's not the case this year.
2. 9am one-on-one meeting with my supervisor to go over tasks/progress. Meeting went well. We had briefly checked in the day before regarding setting in stone a "registration process" for the FY WoW Saturday of Service. TD has practice managing large groups, so Laura Hill Rao and I thought she would be a good source of advice.
3. In keeping with the Saturday of Service, I finished checking and re-entering that information for FY students into Banner. from the first two weeks of registrants, I projected that we would have 375 students signed up to participate (and planned budget and project-wise for that number). Instead, as of yesterday, 1,243 FY students had registered, and only 224 have indicated interest (18% interest rather than 25%). There are positive aspects of these adjusted numbers as well as negative aspects.
4. Put together a "lesson planning guide" for OL's to work through in structuring activities that accomplish the goals/learning objectives for the Civil and Caring Community. Submitted to TD and Katie for review.
5. Established the time and place the VSLC staff would come to FY OL training to discuss the Saturday of Service
