Etiquette Dinner

About a week ago I attended the Etiquette Dinner hosted by Sullivan University at our Resident Hall. The Dinner was excellent, we learned about table manners, networking, and general tips on how to survive a formal business dinner. And we had fun at the same time. I really enjoyed the company at my table, one alumni and two managers from PNC Bank. Kim invited local business people to give the dinner a real feel, and also give us the opportunity to network. I thought the idea of the dinner was great, because we could learn in a relaxed atmosphere and prepare for the real thing. Plus, a free 7 course dinner! The food was absolutely fantastic. I will definitely attend again if they offer the dinner next year. This was such a valuable experience, especially since I am currently taking the Professional Development class, and the dinner tied in perfectly with what I've been studying in class.  I want to thank Kim for the planning, and Sullivan University and the sponsors for putting together this treat.

Taste of Derby: Part Two

Last May, I posted about my experience working the Taste of Derby, a Derby Weekend kickoff event that raises funds for various causes.  I worked with chefs from around the world throughout a strenuous but amazing sixteen-hour day.  During the five hours of dinner service alone, I cracked and retrieved the yolks of over 600 quail eggs, as well as a number of other duties.  Although it was probably the most concentrated work I had ever done at once, I had a huge smile on my face all day. 

It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

Although I graduated with my culinary degree a couple weeks ago, I have decided to work the Taste of Derby once again this year.  When the event was held last year, I was in International Cuisine, and our class was asked to help out.  I happily obliged!  This year, I am working because I love the experience and ambiance of the whole event.  There is nothing better than doing something you love, working with famous chefs, and networking with people from around the world, all while giving back to the community.  I am definitely looking forward to the Taste of Derby 2013!

IT WAS A GREAT DAY TO CLEAN!!! by TRACY DICKERSON

This past weekend I helped participated in the Operation Brightside Clean up for the mayors clean-up project.  My daughter and a couple of her team mates from the Louisville Starlings Volleyball Club Team all participated in the clean up. 

We had a beautiful day, the sun was out and we didn't have a whole lot of trash to pick up until the very end...of course, isn't that always the case.

Please take a look at the pictures that we took before, during, and after the clean up...

A Constant Balancing Act

Being an Adult Student brings several challenges to life daily. I personally opened a business this year which is open from noon till midnight everyday except Sunday. I am getting married in August and I am a Full Time Student. I find myself awake until the wee hours of the morning and hopping out of bed to get to work buy ten. I leave work at one to make it to class at two only to return to work after. Some days are worse than others. It is amazing what stress can do to a persons health and mental state. I truly feel bad for my other half and thankful that he is patient at the same time. He said to me yesterday " You know how all of the successful people in the world said it was difficult and a struggle to get to where they are today? That they sacrificed and gave up so much to gain all of what they have? That is what you are doing, and knowing you, you will be more successful than any women in bourbon before you!" Those moments in life, those words right there, are what make all of this worthwhile. Never ever give up because all of this hard work does in fact pay off in the long run!Cheers....

Last Quarter

Good afternoon all,
This quarter is my last quarter in the Pharmacy Technician Program.  I have learned so much in this program that is preparing me for a career in this field.  I have the confidence to stand tall with the knowledge that I have gained.  I am glad I made this choice and chose this program as it will lead to many career possibilities for me in the future!  Thanks for all my instructors and the Sullivan staff.  I have had a wonderful experience.  After I take a break for a while I may give serious thought to the PA Program in the future as I think this would build well upon my professional experience and knowledge!  We shall see.....
