NUFP cluster groups

last week, i had my first NUFP cluster group call. it's basically an opportunity to talk to other NUFP fellows and share our experiences with each other. gotta love how amazing technology is that it is so easy to have a conversation between a NUFP fellow in north carolina, a NUFP fellow in colorado, and our NASPA facilitator in new york all while i'm sitting in my pajamas in my room in california.

i am so thankful for this opportunity to get to know other people who are also interested in pursuing student affairs after graduating. because i go to cal poly, sometimes it can be difficult being surrounded by so many "engineer type" people who don't understand that what i am passionate about doing can actually be a professional career. it's nice to finally have a group of people that already get where i'm coming from and we can actually have a great conversation about how we are going to go about achieving our goals.
