Heidi's Blog Update #22

Hey there WC blog followers!

So recent business...

Last night was our Heritage Office reception and lecture series with Professor Rick Eichorn presenting on "The Economic Crisis of 2008 and Its Aftermath."  The evening began with conversation over heavy appetizers as alums arrived in Hickok lobby.  I was stationed at the back door to Hickok and greeted guests as they arrived.  It was a great opportunity for me to put a face with a name I had seen or been accustomed to hearing working with Kelly, but had not yet met in person.  Then as small-talk and appetizers (which were very tasty and included meatballs, mini quiches, a large fruit platter, spinach and artichoke dip with bruschetta bread, roast beef and mini rolls for sandwiches, and an assortment of desserts and beverages), had run its course and as six o'clock approached, we moved into Kesler to listen to the lecture presentation.  After the presentation, I once again stationed myself by a door and thanked guests for coming as they exited.  It was a great evening and I think I can confidently say that all of the alums had a great time thanks to Kelly's careful planning and execution hosting the event.

Today Manderson and I are back to website business in the WC after the afternoon and evening spent at the reception mingling with alums, taking photographs, and recording the lecture series presentation.  Right now it's mainly formatting errors on the site that are driving us crazy!  Those horizontal lines I mentioned in an earlier blog popping up everywhere...yep, they're back again.  And we had to bring back the WAC and Colere sites because for some reason they magically disappeared.  Apparently depending on which computer you might be using to and what system, it can also make editing the site different.  So where as the computer I've been using at the front desk for some reason could not center a quote to save its life, Manderson didn't have trouble editing on his laptop.

Now it's just a matter of finishing formatting, making the site look nice, and making sure that everything on it is updated and relevant.

Wish us luck!
