Rhode Island College hosted their annual open house for transfer students and up and coming freshman looking to start their college journey. I personally never went to an open house event to look into a major that would interest or compliment me. A great opportunity for kids in high school looking to brighten their future and move to the next step in life, College. There was a mixed group of student that came, kids who had a plan, curious kids with an idea, kids who were completely unsure whats next and kids with their parents looking for the best fit for their kids. A beautiful sight to see when kids came different tables with various questions.
Personally I had a great feeling in my heart when kids came to the Youth Development table and looked for knowledge what we were all about. Thanks to the day in class where we had the elevator speeches i had no problem speaking smoothly to guide all question and ideas. Also while I was speaking to individuals I had other groups elevator speech running through my head and images of Greg being a super hero. Not one person I spoke to was similar to the next, I had a different talk and passed different knowledge to students because of their approach to our YDEV table. I can say me and the other YDEV major collectively made a difference in the minds of the students coming up.
For up and coming open house’s I have some changes that may lead to more eyes turning to Youth Development. Some colorful streamers Balloons and also change the youth development sign to also have BA in it. Just to attract eye to our direction an also there were confusions that we were a club not really a major/ degree.
