The College Journey

I believe that since creating this blog that awareness has been brought about the importance of campus involvement. Whether at Rowan or at other institutions.

Look at the six presidents that I interviewed about their personal journeys they took to get into the leadership roles they took on. I have never understood what it felt like to be president of collegiate organization. However I do know that within leadership you must be someone people could look up to but at the same time serving others.

I think the best thing that came out of these blog was the connections I made with people. I wanted to tell people’s stories and show students, Rowan and elsewhere. I thought this blog could not only help people but inspire others to get involved and create change on their campus.

I think I was able to connect people and show that college is a place to flourish and grow. You only have one life and you have live life to it’s fullest.

College is the best time of our lives!

The future of this blog will serve the same purpose but I would like to expand the interviews and look at what higher education administrator do. Learn about campus cultures different from Rowan’s. I hope to keep this blog for another year or so and just see how it can grow.

Talk Shows, would you host one?

Yesterday I got an interesting offer to host a talk show on celebrity gossip.

I didn’t know what to do because as a person who loves watching E! News, Chelsey Handler, and well anything on Bravo, I am a huge advocate for it. But I honestly didn’t know if I should do it.

I am a person that has had little experience hosting a talk show. I was given an opportunity though Rowan After Hours to host “The Gavin Show.”

My show was a look at celebrities and local news. I did not want to focus the show on Rowan news and gossip it could have only led me to trouble.

I feel like I would like to get a little bit more hosting experience and then after that occurs maybe I would consider taking the talk show stage.

I know I am not Oprah, Maury, Tyra, Ellen, or the ladies of The View, but I think it might be fun.

But I think many people would make wonderful talk show hosts. I encourage any one at Rowan who wants to get some experience to go join RTN or Rowan Radio. If you’re not at Rowan and at another college, join the college television station and radio station.

Trust me, you’ll want to do it again after your first show!
