A friend who also attended USC for Higher Ed & Student Affairs has been working at Alabama for three years. This semester she is teaching a class, mainly for freshmen students. Below is an email she sent based on a conversation she had with a student after the very first class:
Conversation with a student in my class:
Liza Lee: I just wanted to introduce myself, I’m Liza Lee
Me: Great to meet you, where are you from?
Liza Lee: Decatur, did you say you were from South Carolina?
Me: No, I just want to grad school there.
Liza Lee: Oh, my cousin went to grad school there but now he works at another school as the Dean of Students or something. He plans events for students.
Me: Really? What is his name?
Liza Lee: Josh McKenzie
Ladies and gentlemen, within a month's time I have worked my way up the ladder and am now the Dean of Students for Northwestern University (which was just named the #12 school in the country by 2011 US News and World Report [again]). haha!
