Orientation 2009: Next Exit UofA

Sorry about the hiatus, but things have finally calmed down around the office a bit and I have gotten the chance to work on the Orientation video. 

This year's Orientation was a great time, and it wouldn't have been possible without the hard work of the rest of the CSD staff and the fantastic volunteers. Personally, I had so much fun and it was awesome to see so many passionate volunteers and excited first-year students.

Without further ado, I present to you "Orientation 2009: Next Exit UofA"

P.S. I promise to be more diligent about posting. My apologies for dropping the ball. 

30 seconds... Attempting to Coax Sam the Bird to Be Friendly

It's been a busy couple of weeks, so therefore, I have decided to post one of our lighter "30 Seconds..." video blog entries. 

In the Agriculture and Forestry building, there is a jungle-like greenhouse environment full of birds and beautiful greenery - a veritable jungle paradise in which students can spend the cold winter months. Students can be found in the greenhouse relaxing, sketching, and often socializing with Sam, the overly friendly bird. 

After being told of the friendly creature, the CSD staff took it upon themselves to film Sam. Unfortunately, we were quite unsuccessful, but the footage is pretty entertaining.

30 Seconds with... The CSD Staff

This marks the beginning of a new project for the Vitamin A Blog: Video Blogging, and "30 Seconds with..."

Throughout the year and the summer, we will be bringing you Video Blogs (or Vlogs, I am told) from places all around campus to help you get to know the people and/or places you may not already know about. The very first entry you will see is a series of impromptu interviews with the CSD staff. They were unaware ahead of time what the questions would be, and some interviewees may have been a little more resistant than others depending on how busy they were... You'll see.

And now, I proudly present, 30 Seconds with... The CSD Staff

0-26 Crazy Hat Day

So the Infolink-ers decided it was Crazy Hat Day today in the office. Because of this, they get to be on the blog. Lucky them. 

Jenn doesn't work for Infolink, I just like her hat. 

I assure you we actually do some work in the office.
