Last evening, I attended the 10th Annual Office of Multicultural Diversity Scholarship and Awards dinner. \u00a0The office wanted to recognize me for the help I’ve given them over the years and they named me a Campus Partner. \u00a0Which was pretty cool.<\/p>\n
The evening started with pictures of the\u00a0recipients, snacks, and a silent auction. The dinner was pretty good and the company at the table was a little… off-beat. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
There were awards for outstanding students, scholarship recipients, community leaders. \u00a0Most of the students did not have speeches prepared – though nearly all of the adults were prepared. \u00a0I took the middle ground of writing some notes on a small piece of a paper, leaving that paper at the table when I got up to get my plaque, and then winging it.<\/p>\n
One funny note. \u00a0I’m friends with the event organizer and she is a big fan of my Halloween costumes and considered using them in the powerpoint. \u00a0She decided not to at the last minute and didn’t tell the presenter. \u00a0He directed everyone’s attention to the screen – and there were no photos to see. \u00a0A little awkward – I then mentioned that I had submitted a zombie photo, but thought the dress shirt and tie was a little more\u00a0appropriate.<\/p>\n
So, I got a free dinner and a nice plaque out of it. \u00a0Think I may hang that up in my office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
