Happy New Year. Its been a while since I’ve written but I have been a busy penguin. Since mid December, I have been home in Southern California working at my internship. I am working for the Wave newspaper publications in Los Angeles. I have been involved with many facets of print publications and gaining great knowledge and experience. I am still working at my internship until Jan. 12. Working 40 hours per week is no easy task but the experience is work the hard work.
Besides my internship, I am spending much needed time recharging my batteries for the Spring semester. After going non-stop since august, you need break. I love sleeping the day away, watching t.v and not worrying about responsibilities.
Besides my internship, I’ve have been working with members of student government to plan some events the first week of school; some dances and speakers. Man, even though its Winter Break, that doesn’t mean that there is no work to be done.
Just because I’m away from school doesn’t mean I that I don’t keep up-to-date with Penguin athletics. http://radio.dominican.edu announces all home basketball games live from the Conlan Recreation Center. This has been a rough season for Mens basketball. They are 1-2 in conference, 3-9 overall. The Women have faced stiff competition also but staying ahead; they are 2-1 in conference, 7-7 overall.
Shortly after we run to school in 2 weeks, the Spring sports take over: Mens Lacrosse, Womens Softball and Mens and Womens Golf. Head lacrosse coach Ned Webster is in his second season and the boys have greatly improved. Softball and Golf both have new coaches but the athletes are ready to put their best foot forward and represent that Penguin Pride.
Well, it’s getting late and this Penguin has to go to work in the morning! Enjoy break and for those of you coming to the campus visit day Friday, have a great time – sorry I will not be there!
Stay Cool, Lets Go Penguins,
Chilly

Don't forget about the women's tennis team! Our season starts with spring semester--we have a bunch of new recruits and fresh faces and are looking forward to the season!!
Funny how everyone on this blog is part of the Dominican ambassadors.
Not really a realistic point of view of campus life.
Hello! I apologize for the delay in responding and hope that the anonymous poster will return to this response. Thank you for your comment.
You are right that student ambassadors post on our blogs. We’re excited that they are willing to be involved in this way particularly since they are active and involved members of campus life. They may be ambassadors but theey're also RA’s, student government reps, club members, and your classmates.
It’s true that they also work for us in the admissions office as student ambassadors, but they do this blog on their own time, on a volunteer basis as a way to connect with future students. We think that this gives them insight as students and insight into us, the Undergraduate Admissions Team.
Ask them about it. Why not?
Let’s use this resource to its capacity. Discuss, question, comment, and use this tool.
Thank you for your comments, getting a discussion going like this can help us address your questions and concerns, please feel free to respond!
By the way, the admissions office is open to the participation of anyone who would be interested in being bloggers, so, please feel free to contact me at the admissions office if you are interested in contributing (I'm Haley Ruddell).
