CENTRAL TEAM
Welcome to the 2016-2017 MHE Central Team Page
Be sure to follow McGraw-Hill Higher Education (@mhhighered) on Instagram this week to catch my takeover on Wednesday, April 19th! Several student ambassadors have taken over in the past weeks and have done amazing job. I wanted to share with you some stuff behind the scenes so you can see where the content for the takeover came from and how I used my resources on campus to encompass my personal brand in the takeover. Enjoy! Note: almost all of these photos were not used for the takeover- be sure to follow @mhhighered to see brand new content from my day. Meet the photographer: Carlos CruzCarlos and I attended College of DuPage together and I knew he had a talent for photography and film, so I asked him to help me with this project! Together, we spent the day exploring my campus and taking photos/short clips to encapsulate what the "day in my life" really looked like as a student. It was great experience and I am always happy to share a friends talents with others. Make sure to give Carlos a follow on Instagram @napethegreat. Part 1: Daily Routine, the Quad and ConnectThe first part of the day included starting my day with tea at my apartment and then walking through the Main Quad to my nutrition class. At the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, our quad is full of hundreds of students when the weather is nice and on this day, the weather was incredible! I definitely pick up energy from other people and for that reason, I love crowds. I feel energized and excited when I see so many people- thank goodness I go to a school of 44,000! Next, I went to my Organic Chemistry class. What a terrible way spend this beautiful day, right?! Well at least I have Connect to help me out with making O'Chem a little less impossible. I use Connect and SmartBook throughout the semester, even though it was not required or even suggested by my professor. SmartBook's reports and practice quizzes really help make this class more bearable, so thank you MHE! Part 2: Favorite Campus Spots and a Concert!On this day I stopped by my sorority house for lunch and to hang out with some friends. I also went to a local cafe to get some studying done and to my surprise, there was a free concert on campus with tons of giveaways! The nice thing about going to a school with so many students is that there is never a dull moment- there is always something fun to do when you have free time. I realized that I am most successful when I balance studying/school/internships with other activities- like hanging out with friends, attending events on campus or running! By using SmartBook to study, I find myself saving even more time by being able to study more effectively and efficiently so I have more time for some relaxation. Part 3: Dinner and SA PlanningThe final part of this day included going to The Red Herring, my favorite vegan restaurant on campus. Every Wednesday night, they serve a vegan take on different cultural dinners and this week was Bulgarian. The biggest tip I have for students is to stay healthy! A healthy body = a healthy mind :)
I got dinner with another student ambassador on campus, Thomas, and discuss what our plans are for the SA program for the rest of the semester. We talking about the next project we are working on- a student interview project with includes using the Video Recording Studio on campus to interview students on their experiences using Connect and SmartBook and their experiences as students. Stay tuned to see what we come up with! I hope you enjoyed getting a glimpse into a random day in my life as a student at the University of Illinois. I hope this inspires you to get involved, use your resources, balance your time and most importantly, enjoy your time as a student!
