Give me a long lake! *SUPERIOR*

As I have mentioned about 100000 times.... ISU attended the regional residence hall conference, called GLACURH from November 13-15th. (GLACURH = Great Lakes Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls.) ISU brought 9 students and 2 advisors to Central Michigan University (Mt. Pleasent, MI) for a weekend. We met up with students from all around Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, and Ontario. It's always amazing to meet SO MANY people from all around the region to compare and learn. :D

ISU decided on a sub-theme of Star Wars... yeah!!! I love Star Wars!!! :) So we had all of our school stuff around that theme... our tag line was "Return of the Redbirds: Never Underestimate the Power of Leadership!" It was super cute. Our roll call (skit at the beginning of the conference), t-shirts, banner, and display all had this theme.

This was our banner. :) Shannon planned it all out: drew a templete, transfered to the fabric, and painted. We were on the same committee, and I did not really do a lot to help because let's admit it.... I am sooooo not artistic. But I did paint here and there. :)

This is a shot of our display. Both of these are important components for the conference... its a chance to showcase our school and be creative. :)

Other than that, our delegation had a BLAST during the conference. It was a little rough because of the time that Shannon, Robert, and I had to spend in the business room. We were three of the returner delegates, so it was a little hard to motivate and answer questions. Normally our communications coordinator sits in business the entire time while the rest of the delegation goes to programming sessions to learn from other students. Well, this time the three of us joined our communications coordinator because we had to do a presentation.

A presentation? Yeah... in front of all the communications coordinators from all around the region! Why did we have to give a presentation? Maybe I'll let you know in my next post. ;-)

The delegation at roll call, waiting for all the skits to start! Fear the Bird!
