Pay Attention in Computer Skills July 13, 2007

Filed under: Summer Internships — Jenny @ 4:07 pm

When packing for my summer internship, I grabbed materials from some of my first year courses…stats, managerial writing, marketing…and for some crazy reason, I decided to leave my computer skills stuff behind. And now I’m kicking myself. I can picture the binder sitting on my dining room table. Let this be your first lesson in packing for your summer internship: TAKE YOUR COMPUTER SKILLS BINDER! You won’t be sorry.

I’ve already emailed the great Paula Ecklund for some guidance. She was amazing and so helpful. Now I’m in the middle of building this crazy spreadsheet in order for my partner organization. The Leadership School is going to be able to not only track the impact their curriculum is having on the kids, they are going to be able to track a lot of other things such as parent participation, financial goals, and school retention and also correlate things like teacher involvement with student impact.

Luckily for me, Chad is an Excel genius and has offered to point me in the right direction. Stay tuned for the final spreadsheet. I’m really excited about it.

Pictures soon. I promise.
