Today I received a reply to my email to Patricia (Trisha) Turner, who participated in the 2010 ASNE Reynolds Institute. Trisha is a teacher at East Stroudsburg North High School and an adviser to The Wolf Pack newspaper, and she went to Texas last year for her fellowship.
The reason I contacted Trisha was because I am originally from the Stroudsburg area, so I thought it would be easy for me to connect with someone from my hometown. And I was right. In fact, her husband and my husband graduated from Stroudsburg High School the same year.
Trisha was very generous in her information via email to me. While her experience is going to be different from mine because of location, the general ideas should be similar. Trisha stated that it was the best program she has been in and that she had a wonderful time. She made some recommendations about what to bring (an external hard drive), and she described the hotel and the overall feeling of the two-week adventure.
Trisha said that she keeps in touch with the colleagues from the program. In fact, they are planning a get-together this summer.
I am sure that I will have a wonderful experience both educationally and personally.
