I am so happy to have great mentors in this project. I can not tell you enough how much of a lifesaver good mentors have been to me. For example, Professor Nancy Park and I meet regularly to discuss project proceedings and deadlines. We’ve covered every issue from plagiarism to focus group timings and she’s been very helpful with presenting opportunities to me for spreading the word.
I also have great people working with me on this project who don’t happen to be mentors. Faculty, staff, and students are all doing their best to help make this project a success through contributions like posting the link on their department page, getting their Point of View up ahead of time, or promoting the project at their student events. It’s been a true blessing to have such great support.

On that note, Wellness professor Brian Fennig and Assistant Registrar Stephen Forrest have posted their views on The Big Short onto the wiki site! Please join us in the conversation, we would love to hear from you.

Also, our promotional water bottle coozies have arrived! With a choice of blue or red, students will have their pick on Saturday Aug 18th at ‘Night at the Club’ and while taking their Class of 2016 photo on the 19th! I am so excited to make this a part of a great SMU tradition.

Toodles for now,

Zahra
