Yesterday, I made my return debut at Columbus Academy (CA) in Gahanna, OH . At CA, I am known as a ‘lifer’, having spent all 13 years of my educational development at the same school. I have purposely not gone back since my graduation in 2005 as I frankly had banked enough time there in 13 years to last me quite some time. Can you blame me? I mean, I haven’t been able to bring myself to wear a polo or an oxford shirt after wearing THIRTEEN years of dress code. P.S. Sorry but my socks never did fully cover my malleolus as the student handbook says, GOTCHA! BUT I broke down this week and returned to speak to eager youngsters during their Alumni Career Lunch Forum.
Glad they didn't post the pictures of me making strange faces
I spoke to 32 high school students (hopefully they weren’t just there for a free catered lunch) about social media and other emerging technologies. They asked some great questions not only about the information I was sharing but also about my college experience and how I entered the interactive field. Surprisingly (har har), I was invited back next year, as my lunch was well attended and the students seemed to be very interested in marketing/advertising.
Thanks @ColumbusAcademy for sending me the above pictures (and not posting my awkward face ones)
