Well Hello Everyone and Happy Holidays! I'm so excited for all that
Diane is doing; that's GREAT! Things have been crazy busy at LMU, but
we've made some major strides in our work here. In October, we hosted
a special reception for Masaki Kakatani and his wife and the Glassers,
Bob Hoglund, and several students came by. It was really amazing and
Masaki and his wife (and their son, too) had such quality things to
say about business operations at Achievement Corp. in Japan. We also
had our RAs go through a basic week and many of them have been
implementing it quite well and some have plans to go back for their
advanced weeks. To be honest, we still have reached a couple of speed
bumps along the way, still analyzing the proactive applicability and
responses to choice theory in a freshmen residence hall. We did get
news that we are doing this for at least one more year (only supposed
to be for two originally), so hopefully we can smooth those things
out. I think that about covers all of the newness here. Hope all is
well with everyone and look forward to hearing from everyone!
Tom
