In my last post, I stated that I was starting college studies with assistant from CollegePlus! (a service of Global Learning Strategies). I also ended the post by saying that something else was in the works that could change everything. Well, both statements are true.
To make a long story short, I recently landed an internship with Global Learning Strategies in the San Antonio Texas area. In exchange for costs associated with a BSBA degree in General Management, I have agreed to work with GLS for at least one year, beginning April 18th. I leave for Texas on April 17th. I will be working in the GLS marketing department and on my studies/degree while I’m down there.
GLS is dedicated to researching innovative learning solutions for higher education and providing academic life coaching services.
To learn more about GLS, please read their mission statement. Also, please read the CollegePlus! overview to learn what it is. If you have high speed internet, and want a flash multimedia presentation of the CollegePlus! service, please click here as well.
I am excited about this opportunity because I can gain new, real-world experience and work on a degree in a distraction-free environment at the same time.
Joshua,
Congratulations on the internship! We actually found out about it this past weekend at the MACHE conference. We stopped at the College Plus booth, spoke with Woody Robertson, and he told us you would be heading down there! I wish we had more time to visit with you…we are interested in College Plus here for Amanda, but would like to hear your experiences. Perhaps we can be in touch via email when you get settled.
Sincerely,
Lorna Cook
Oh, and one more thing….we pray God’s blessings upon you as you start this new chapter in your life!!
