Okay, so this visitor was not just here to see me, but it just so happened that the Dean of Admission from ASC was traveling through Maastricht and invited me to join her at her college fair to be an additional representative of the College!
As usual, I could not say no to any favor ASC Admissions asked of me. After working there for four years while attending ASC and for a few months after I graduated, this office is very near and dear to me. Although the office has undergone some recent staff changes and restructuring of job duties and geographical territories, it is still the same great office of women working to recruit new Scotties. Of course, I was anxious to help in any way I could!
So, I woke up early and headed to the Uni to study for a bit in the morning. I studied in the library for a couple of hours before heading just down the street to the United World College in Maastricht. Before attending the college fair, I knew nothing of this school or its purpose. However, after meeting Dean Laura Martin and speaking with her at the fair, I soon learned that this international organization serves an empowering mission in line with the goals of Agnes Scott. The mission of the UWC is: [To] provide high quality education focusing on the specific needs of internationally mobile students within a multicultural setting. After hearing this, I said, "These students would fit perfectly at Agnes Scott!"
While we did not have very many visitors at the college fair, it was nice to have a chance to talk with Dean Martin and also meet the school's guidance counselor. It was a good experience to learn about this place, and nice to talk in person with someone familiar with ASC!
Sometimes home does not feel so far away after all...
