Letter from the
Dean
Dear SoB
Students and Graduates,![]()
Spring is the time of new
beginnings! Birds are returning. Daffodils are blooming. Warm weather
entices us to spend as much time outdoors as possible. It becomes
increasingly difficult to sit inside at the computer and write a paper,
discussion posts or work math problems. Keep in mind that earning your
degree is also a new beginning for you. The knowledge you gain from
obtaining your degree can and will open new doors and opportunities for
you to grow. The amount of time you spend on your studies is but a
raindrop in a bucket compared to the transformation you will experience.
Here are a few
suggestions to help you continue to stay motivated this spring:
- Take your study materials outside with you. Take your books with you to appointments or soccer practice.
- Reward yourself for completing your work early in the week so that you have the weekend to enjoy with your family.
- Get the family involved. Reward them for help around the house or proofreading papers.
-
Prepare your work area ahead of time. Set an egg timer
for 30 minutes to 1 hour and concentrate on getting as much work as
possible done during that time. Minimize interruptions by turning off
your cell phone and the television.
Remember the time you spend in school is finite. The possibilities associated with your education are endless!
Regards,
Danette Lance, PhD
Dean, School of Business

JIU Staff Profile
5 FUN FACTS
Whitney Westgaard,
Office of the Registrar
A Records Coordinator
in the JIU Registrar's Office, Whitney has been with JIU since 2011. She
is responsible for coordinating student dismissals and various other
student requests. Whitney is a shining light on her team; she always has
a positive attitude and is willing to go above and beyond. While on
the Registrar's team, Whitney has focused on improving her Excel
proficiency to improve process efficiency. Her smile and warm presence
are always a delight in the Records department, making Whitney a true
asset to the Jones Gold Standard.
IN HER OWN WORDS:1.
I was born in Louisiana
and lived in Lafayette until I was about 5 years old. My life changed
drastically when my family was asked to move overseas to Cairo, Egypt.
Although I do not remember much from our time in Cairo, I do have a few
vivid memories including one terrifying experience with a camel. My
sister and I were posing for a photo on a seated camel when all of a
sudden the slobbery beast decided to take off running! I didn't realize
it at the time, but now I know that the camel episode took place in
front of the Egyptian Pyramids!
2. At
age 9, my family and I moved to a small town in Wyoming right outside
of Yellowstone National Park. I love Wyoming and truly appreciate
wide-open spaces...and a little country music. 3.
While pursuing my BA in
Communication Marketing, I went on a life-changing spring break trip to
Lyon, France. The culture and food were amazing and I fell in love with
the French language. I now spend many an evening practicing with Rosetta
Stone.4.
Even though I consider
myself a "small town girl," I thoroughly enjoy Denver. I've had many
interesting experiences living in Capitol Hill, met great people, and
more importantly, found an opportunity to give back to my community. I
volunteer at the homeless coffee shop on my block and find the
experience quite fascinating. So many interesting conversations are
shared over a cup of coffee and I have started a blog to document my
experiences. 5.
On
the weekends, you can catch me at a yoga class, having brunch with
friends, trying new DIY crafts from Pinterest, walking my little dog
Olivia, or just curled up with my Kindle. |
