My work heart is full. Tonight, the amazing staff at the MU Assessment Resource Center (ARC) and our partner organization, the eMINTS National Center, took over the Dodge room at Shakespeare’s South for dinner. Everyone is in town for a staff retreat, and it was the chance to see people in person after COVID, meet colleagues that we have only met via Zoom, eat great food, and socialize.
When I took over as Interim Director of the ARC in March 2019, I was so green. I had this ridiculous idea that these people work for me. It took some bumps and bruises, but I came to realize that I actually work for them. Now that I am Director, I find myself feeling thankful every day to lead this truly unique group of people. They are the absolute best excuse for going to work every day. So, tonight, I took the opportunity to give back just a little to them and their families. I know it is not enough for all the incredible work that they do, but it is a start.
