I was invited to presented at the first ever Virtual Graduate Research Symposium for Cal Poly Pomona. I shared my masters thesis and project. What a neat experience. The recording will be available soon at this link.

Elluminate

I've been invited by my masters thesis advisor to take part in an online symposium. The presentation will take place between 2pm to 3:30pm on Saturday June 11th. Seven to ten presenters will be alloted about 5 - 10 minutes to speak about his/her masters project. The idea is for alumni to talk about how the idea of the topic came about, and to give current students an overview of the process of the thesis was put together. I would prefer to present in person, but I'm looking forward to this unique opportunity.

Link Crew Year End Party

We had a low turn out for the Link Crew Year End Party. We bused only about 25 leaders to the Covina Lanes for a two hour bowling trip. I was surprised that many kids had never bowled before. We had a blast. The adult coordinators participated and we enjoyed our afternoon very much. I particularly appreciated the kids' creativity and lack of inhibition when they bowled with their own unique styles. Above is a picture of Maria and Ninfa bowling between their legs. They also tried bowling while laying down and "Granny Style" which was a two handed underhand toss. I used the name "Best Hair". = )

Senior Softball Game

One of our counselors started an annual Staff vs. Seniors softball game three years ago. I played in the first one in which we lost. I didn't play last year due to my night graduate classes. Today, we had a lot of fun. We won 15-12 in six and a half innings. The kids were great sports, giving the teachers a few close calls. I hit a triple, scored a run, and had an RBI. Tomorrow, the Link Crew coordinators will also do a bowling outing with the Link Leaders. Lots of fun activities as we close into the end of the year.
