Meet and Greet on Friday

Today we decided we would dress business-like for our meet-and-greet with the faculty on Friday. Guys don't have to wear a tie, but don't wear your ratty t-shirt and sneakers. Girls don't need to wear heels, but don't wear anything revealing. This is your chance to get to know people you may soon be interviewing. You will need to introduce yourself as in "Hi, I'm Joe, and I'm a reporter." Or, "Hi, I'm Maria. I'm the news editor." They will probably tell you their names and their job. If they don't tell you their job, ask them. If you don't know what their job entails, ask them, "What does you job entail?" Most people are happy to talk about themselves. If you can't think of anything to talk about, tell them about the personality matrix and what animal you are.
