Description

Hello All! An outreach event is being organized for our sister city Juarez, Chihuahua, and I would GREATLY appreciate everyone’s help! The event organizers are collecting old and new jackets, coats, blankets, gloves, and scarves that can be passed on to needy families in Juarez to get the families and children through these cold winter days. They have assigned a drop off day on December 16 at BEK Medical so anyone can drop off stuff there! If you cannot make it on the drop off date and would like to participate just comment on this post! Donations are also accepted. Just a small way we can touch these peoples hearts, and realize how blessed we are to have even a scarf! They really hope many of you participate and spread the word, a great way to spend the Holidays is giving to others.
Anyone who would like to go to Juarez on Christmas morning to distribute all of this personally to the families are more than welcome to come! You will need a passport, please post a message if interested!

Adelante Leadership Institute – A student’s perspective

Regional Identity Staff — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 05:49:46 +0000

My experience at the Adelante Leadership Institute was more than I expected. I learned much of myself and how I would, in certain instances, react and interact with others. From beginning to end, they always had you thinking about what was happening and what was yet to come.On the ride over to the hotel from the airport, I sat with a man that would also be attending the institute. We talked for a while, and he told me that he had been involved in the institute for a couple of years now. We went on to talk about where we were in our lives, where we were going, and what communalities we had. We got along quite well.
Upon arrival, we were greeted very graciously, and then went straight into the sessions. After the first session, up went the man that I had sat next to on the ride over to the hotel. Ironically, he was to talk about conversational skills. I felt this was very coincidental. I tried to relate what we had spoken about to the conversation he and I had had. During our talk on the ride over, he did not mention anything over how he would be participating at the conference, so I had assumed that he was an advisor or something along those lines, not a speaker.
After his presentation, I approached and congratulated him on a wonderful presentation. He went on to tell me he was quite impressed by me during our conversation on the phone. He asked me more specific details in my life: graduation date, school activities, etc. After explaining that I had a year and half till graduation, he seemed offset, but nevertheless did give me his card and an invitation to email him and get in contact with him if and when I would be looking for employment.
Another of the sessions I felt was very worthwhile was the Gala. Yes, the food was great, and the motivational speaker was quite the motivation, but the main reason I felt that it was meaningful, was because I was able to sit next to another one of the speakers that had given a session at the conference. We talked about her experiences, as well as mine. Her session had been about standing back up when life throws you down and I felt that, at that point, it was something that I could personally use.
I enjoyed the Institute very much. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to better their interpersonal skills as well as their networking abilities. More specifically, I believe that those closer to graduation would benefit the most.

Regional Identity Is BACK!!!!!

dsterlin — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 22:48:13 +0000

After much anticipation the Regional Economic Development Association has revived Regional Identity!! Many people complain about this region but few choose to do something about it. We are here to make a difference and improve economic development in our region.

The Regional Identity (Ri) is a biweekly online magazine published by the Regional Economic Development Association. The magazine explores academic, business, and government issues in the Paso del Norte region.

The Regional Identity’s goal is to create a more active student body that engages in the issues that affect the Paso del Norte region. The magazine provides an outlet for students to voice their opinions and enables students to apply the knowledge and skills that they acquire in the classroom to the real world.

We are the voice for students in our region we are REDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
