MEETING OF THE MINDS ACROSS THE SEA

Last semester I had the pleasure of being a part of a group that created a workshop for when the University of East London came to visit ISU.  I also helped with transportation and went to lunches with the group.  Before they came we had a video conference meeting with them to discuss what they would like to learn when they came to visit and what we were interested in learning as well.  The photos above are from the camera of Bernard Canniffe and show my involvement in that video conference meeting.  

I loved that Bernard pushed me to talk and explain things during the meeting.  It gave me a whole new level of confidence.  It can be intimidating to talk with a large group of people you have never met before, and then to be worried about the cultural differences can be a little scary, but with his push of confidence, it felt amazing to speak with everyone.  I am proud of how I was able to represent ISU and our Graphic Design program during this meeting. 

Little did I know at the time of this meeting that I would soon meet some great individuals who I would come to feel as if I known them forever.  The group that visited from UEL were amazing and I know it was only a short visit, but I do find myself missing them greatly.  Hope to have a chance to visit them soon....or wouldn't it be amazing to work in London? I personally think that would be amazing and out of this world exciting.
