The prices will be SOOOO much cheaper, the prices will be competitive with other online book vendors. We will be having E-Campus training in the student center on Nov. 18th from 11-1 and Nov. 19th from 5pm – 7pm. Come join us.

The entire OLHCC Community will be participating in Habitat for Humanity this Saturday, Nov. 22 from 7:30am – 3:00pm. If you would like to participate, please contact Anne-Katherine Lene’ at aklene@olhcc.edu to RSVP.

Summer Fun!

So the semester is finally over. YAY! Congrats to everyone who has graduated. You did it! This is a very important milestone in your life.

The Enrollment Services office had a door decorating contest this week. The theme was “Summer”. We had so much fun decorating the doors and just having a little down time with our co-workers. If you get a chance, you should stop by and check out the doors. I’ll post some pictures as soon as I get them.

On a personal note: I finished my first semester at UNO in the MBA program. After taking a year off from school, I was ready to get back. Even though I was excited about school, I am looking forward to summer with no classes. I plan on taking a vacation and spending time with my family and friends. I am including a picture of my puppy Roxy (the bigger dog). I love having her around the house. She is so energetic, and sometimes wears me out, but I wouldn’t trade her for the world. This picture was taken at my house when I was dog-sitting for Randy. His dog is a dachshund named Ruby. She is so loving and cute!

Enjoy the beginning of summer!

We’re on a roll…!

Wow! We have had so many activities in the past few weeks.

The SGA/ Alumni crawfish boil was so much fun; we were able to enjoy a beautiful day with friends, family and CRAWFISH! The student organizations were selling yummy snacks and they even had a dunking booth. Watching the faculty falling into the water was priceless.
Sunday turned out to be a great day for the Golf Classic. The weather was perfect and the golfers were excited to play on such an excellent course. We were able to have a great time with our co-workers, students, family and friends; all while raising money to support the college.
Dr. Baglow had the Reel Faith Vocation Film Festival in the Moreau Center this week. A few films were shown, and we even had one of the actors join us for a Q and A session. This was a great experience for all of the high school students that attended. We will hopefully be able to have other events like this on campus.

First Blog :)

Hi Everyone!! This is my very first blog, so I am very excited J I guess I should tell you a little about myself first. My name is Becky Kientz and I am one of the fabulous recruiters at Our Lady of Holy Cross College. I came to OLHCC in 2004 after I completed my Associates in Business Communication at Delgado. I knew that I wanted to continue my education, but I just wasn’t sure what school was right for me. As I was weighing my options for college, I met the Dean of the business department through my family. He told me that I would fit in great at Our Lady of Holy Cross College because of the small size and personal attention. Sure enough, I attended an Open House and LOVED it! I enrolled for the spring of 2004 and completed my Bachelors in Business Administration concentrating in Tourism Management in December of 2006.

            Shortly before I completed the program, in September of 2006, I was given the opportunity to work as the recruiter for OLHCC. That was an easy decision for me, talking about the school that I love and meeting new people, PERFECT!!

            So here I am! I am so excited to continue recruiting and meeting new people. Pretty soon, I will be posting upcoming events to let you know where you can meet me. Don’t forget, you can always check out the recruiting section under admissions on the website at www.OLHCC.edu for more information. Talk to you later!!!
