Peabody Offices of Professional and Graduate Education, Office of Student Engagement, Webinar

Screen it's great can I see my sister or they were not live yet? Are we

there's 24 people?

As well.

Yeah.

You Punk.

Yeah, I'll tell you that I can hear it, see. Now never said.

Let me go ahead well hello sorry for the delay. We have some technical difficulties here, but but we are live. An I'm ready to chat with you all this is Megan Monday, an I am an assistant Dean here and I work with the office of student engagement and well being and I'll start off by saying that you were invited to pop. GE's Office of student engagement web and R that is the last time that you'll hear pop GE because we are restructuring and rebranding so pop, she exists no longer.

We are now known as the office of student engagement and well being as we see on the slides and I am excited to have here with us. My assistant director who you're going to hear from in just a moment and 3 of our wonderful professional students, so welcome. We're glad you're here and I'm going to turn it over to Courtney to introduce herself.

Hello hello, everybody, my name is Courtney Melaine Anas Megan said ily assistant director in our office of student engagement and well being and I'm also a Peabody Elum and graduated from Peabody with my Masters in community development and action. So we are among good company here today because we have several of our graduate assistants here and I'm going to let them introduce themselves as well. Hello, I'm kaelan I'm a graduate assistant in the opposite.

Equity diversity and inclusion and I'm a second year student in the community development and action program.

Hi all my name is Andrew Brodsky. I just completed my 3rd semester of my program in higher education ministration. Ann I am also a graduate assistant and Vanderbilt Office of the Provost an office for student organizations.

Hello my name is Taylor Kellogg and I am in the learning diversity in Urban Studies program and I'm a graduate assistant in the equity diversity and inclusion office as well As for the noise. Scholars program and I'll also add this as Megan. Again, I was so excited to welcome you all that. I forgot to say that I had 2 graduate degrees from Peabody. My Masters is in the human development counseling program. An my doctor. It is in from leadership policy and organizations and.

Honor Flight you'll see that it says that our office focuses on Holistic Co. Curricular engagement for all of our professional and graduate students. So we're going to share more about that with you now.

So one of the things that our office does, I think really well and were always really excited to share with perspective students in our current students is our intention aliti and making sure that we have collaborators that we work with continually here on the Peabody Campus and then you'll hear a little bit later about our main campus partnerships, but I wanted to highlight just a few offices that we work very closely with and those are the Peabody Office of career services that is located here.

In the administration building with us you will also get to participate in a webinar with our director and associate director Jeff Henley and Kathleen RA and Peabody Crew Services is a fantastic resource and support for our students here so I highly encourage you if you get the opportunity to tune in for one of their webinars to please do so because I think you would really find that information very valuable our office of equity diversity and inclusion is another office that we work very closely with here. I'm not only for student engagement.

But also for just supporting the well being of our students, making sure that student voices heard so there's a lot of our programs that we're going to talk to you about today that we partner with REDEDI Office on quite frequently and then our Peabody Office of student development and support Dean Monique. Robinson runs that office and we work very closely with her office on things related to student care coordination and making sure that our students needs are met and how we can best support our students.

Coca regularly outside of the classroom through our programming and then through other efforts that that students expressed that. They need so those are 3 offices. We just wanted to make sure that we highlight because if you get a chance to explore those offices or tune into a web and are with them. We highly encourage you to do that.

So I'm going to share just a little bit more about our office. An I'm as I mentioned at the beginning our whole focuses on providing Co curricular programming and we're very intentional about using the word Co instead of extra because we feel like there's so much learning that happens outside the classroom and alongside what you're doing in your department's in in your programs and we do everything that we can to both the support and facilitate that whole curricular learning through programming through meeting with students who are working with student organizations.

And we do this Co curricular programming our office specifically for professional and graduate students. So those would be people that are getting their me DS3DS their MPs or their pH. DS we also engage faculty, staff and administrators and programming that meets diverse student needs so we collaborate wherever we can with our colleagues with faculty with staff with offices here at Peabody across campus to make sure that we're doing that community building and building those bridges that.

That we need to build so that we can meet all of the diverse student needs that that we see and then. Lastly, you're going to hear more about this. But we have built all of our programming around 7 dimensions. Anna holistic engagement compass and it's our model for Co curricular engagement and Courtney is going to share a little bit more about that right now.

Yeah, so um Megan and I were able to create a model for us that allows for us to be really intentional in the way in which we design programming for our professional graduate students because again we have such a diverse population of students that were supporting an with that becomes diverse needs and so we wanted to make sure that all of our programming. Efforts really are designed to meet these 7 different dimensions that you see so cultural physical Anil Actual Occupational.

Community building spiritual an emotional and while others may focus on some of these areas. You might have seen other you know support Wellness wheels that look very similar what we are really proud about about this model is the fact that within each of these dimensions again is this desire to collaborate and connect students with other resources on our campus. So when you do attend one of our events or you are engaged with our office in some way we're also making sure that you know about available resources or other offices that are doing really great.

Here on campus and trying to figure out ways to bridge our office with those resources so that you're connected to main campus that you're connected to people who are doing really great work in these areas as well. So what our hope is is that through this web and we're going to kind of dive into each of these 7 dimensions, so that you'll get a chance to see some examples and also hear from our students of ways in which we do specific programming for each of the dimensions listed.

Wonderful so I'll die van next slide. Please come to the occupational peace and what we're going to do is highlight one or 2 things in each area and if you have questions along the way. Please give us a shout out, so this is Megan again. An I'm going to focus a little bit on strength development in the occupational circle. I'm certified strength coach so I am a big strength advocaten know probably a lot of you have taken the Clifton Strengths assessment one of the ways that we work with students is that we offer strength development workshops. In fact, I'm preparing 1 right now.

For our graduate assistants in the building and for our student leaders that will do in January. But a big strength advocate Vanderbilt uses strengths in a lot of places around campus and it's one way that we feel that we can help students kind of bridge that personal professional looking at that piece of your development and helping you move forward in that way really focusing on your talents and strengths, yeah, so then for community building. That's definitely one of my favorite aspects of SWAT, the office work Sonics. I think that's really.

Uh the section you get to connect with a lot of students and faculty members from across different areas of Peabody. Beyond just the program that your ends you have things like the Peabody socials that happen. A few times a year where people can just come in on one afternoon to the administration building and hang out get some food some drinks and talk to other people in their program but also a lot of other people in different programs across Peabody. They're learning very similar things to you and interested in the same things but doing it from different perspectives and I think that.

It's really a great way to facilitate getting to know different people from different backgrounds and exploring what those other programs look like as well.

But you also things like that. Peabody gala that happens at the end of the spring semester. Every year and that's really a cool way to connect with the city of Nashville as well. 'cause. It is downtown and the Musicians Hall of Fame down in downtown Nashville. So you get to go over there and again just have one night, where you sort of take a break from studying and academics and hang out with your friends from your program. Other programs and also get to explore around the museum and really connect with the city of Nashville as well.

We can go onto physical but I will talk a little bit about physical. This is one component. I think is just a really great way again to connect with Nashville, but also connect with like the environment here as well. We get to work with an amazing senior associate Dean Sherron, Shields, who I'm sure you all will get to know very well here at Peabody and participate in something called the Deans walk and talk and so share and loves to get out on the Greenway's here.

And just take our students out for a morning or afternoon out on the Greenway. We bring snacks and some sustenance and then we all just get out and walk together and spend time an I do think it's really unique opportunity because where else can you go and walk around a Greenway with your senior associate Dean and just get to know her and her experience and her excitement to just get to do life with our students here. It's it's really, really fantastic and then also our campus Recreation Center here at Vanderbilt.

Is really fantastic and they have a lot of really extensive programming So what we do is try to partner with them to have different events, either hosted at our campus. Rec center or to host a game's on the line here on our campus where they set up everything from cornhole volleyball, soccer, all on our line here on campus and just have an afternoon together playing games again. It's not something that's heavily programmatic. It's more about providing the space in place for.

Students from different programs from different departments to get to come together and just share some time outside of the classroom, so that's one of the dimensions that I I really enjoy getting to talk about and share.

So for the intellectual aspect, I think it's important to be involved. Intellectually both inside and outside of the classroom, so for our stress busting week that we have every semester, which is great. We I was book club hosted any beds where we all got together and we're all in our favorite books and we like you know shared what we liked about our books with the group. An yeah that was like a really cool experience because we got to like like you know be like get some, like different genres, so we may not have like?

Like right before and hear about different things. And so now we have a cool book. List going on more like where we can find some reads for over winter break, which is pretty cool and then we also have other ways to get involved intellectually with the Iris Journal. Most scholarship the in the path dialogue so that's really awesome wonderful. So I'm going to talk a little bit about the emotional dimension. We've got three more, including this one and one of the biggest things we do.

Each semester is stress busting week which last this happened. Last week for us at the end of classes. We did 8 different events, so each day there were 2 events Monday Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Thursday night culminated in a wine and tea tasting where we had 350 students take over the Wyatt Center and when you visit campus in the spring. You'll see the Wyatt Center. It's a beautiful building. We take over the whole Wyatt Center. Students get a commemorative wine glass. Anna passport and they get to try for a different lines for different teas.

Um relief on happens on the last day of classes for you all but we also do things like we had a pet project where there's a faculty member that started pet project in its therapy dogs and they're probably I'd say, 5 faculty members on Peabody Campus, whose dogs are trained therapy dogs. You can see in the picture. One there and we bring them to campus and it's an opportunity for students that left dogs or animals to come and see the dogs and to play and to pack them and.

To hang out with other people on the lawn. The other great thing, that we do on stress busting weaken this spring. As we bring shinana goats to campus. This was a beloved event, where baby goats in pajamas. Come and you get to cuddle with the goats. You can let them you can do a yoga pose they can jump up on your back and it's always a really fun well tended in well anticipated event that we do so. Lots of great things during stress busting week that happened both in the fall semester and the spring semester.

For the spiritual dimension. I think this is one of the really wonderful things, again about our office in this model is our spiritual dimension really allows us to collaborate extensively with a lot of our campus partners and one that I really want to highlight is that the meditations with our Center for student well being Vanderbilt campus is very, very lucky to have such a center. It's dedicated solely to providing programming for all of our students undergraduate professional and graduate students.

With opportunities to seek out any type of services for well being so meditations. Yoga life coaching all kinds of things come out of this and so we're able to bring them on campus. Once a week, every Monday. They come to the Peabody campus. We reserve our room for them and you can come and do a 30 to 45 minute guided meditation with them, an we've had such great turn out for this because.

I will say one of the things that we have worked really hard to do is to bring these resources on to our campus. So it's not constantly our students, having to go across to main campus. We want to make sure that you have those here, so that you can find those moments in your day. Maybe right before class or after class to get to experience some of these things so we bring the meditation here right before you know? Our four o'clock classes start on Mondays and are LED through a wonderful guided meditation and we've had a lot of students who have never participated in meditation before so this is not something that you have to be well.

I understand that have just really gained a lot out of just having that mindfulness practice of getting to spend that time in quiet to prepare for their studies to prepare for? What's about to happen in the classroom. Maybe projects that are coming up so that's one that I've really, really enjoyed in our faculty and staff participate as well. So talk about opportunities to engage with not only your peers, but colleagues here on campus annuar faculty.

That's just one of the many opportunities that you would have to get to do something like that.

Hi I'm Kaitlyn again and I also serve this year as the vice president for Peabody Coalition of black graduates an as many components of this compass indicate all of these components of Personhood kind of act together and a big part of your drawing on campus can be forming and developing your cultural identity of the student. There are several cultural identity based student groups here and which are open to all students and from Peabody Coalition of black graduates. We strive to create a place where students can come socially.

And have pier supporting relationships in their academic than out of school endeavors in last Saturday. We hosted our 2nd annual holiday soiree, which was an off campus event any students were welcome and invited to bring a guest and we had food. There was availability to participate in other but it's a social activities like dancing and music. I think it was really fun and we look forward to collaborating more in the spring. We did this event in conjunction with the organization of flat graduated professional students on main campus.

Anne what does right across the street from Peabody?

And so let's see we also have the peace walk that we participated. Which happens at Tennessee State University and set in January is part of MLK day and I really enjoyed being a part of PCBG and interacting with other students and having that kind of time away from the classroom to build community on campus.

Wonderful so those are the 7 dimensions of our compass and if you have any questions about it. Feel free at the end. There's going to be a time for Q&A to ask us. The other thing that I'll say about the dimensions and part of a big part of our offices about student advocacy and voice and so, if you are interested in something that you don't see, there and that was not comprehensive by any means, but if you have an idea or a program that you want to bring to us. The one that Taylor talked about in the library. We called it a book tasting that came out of a student coming to us, saying she loves books, and she loves reading so.

To work with you all and we want to make sure that we're meeting your needs as we think about our programming, an what we do to engage and support and work with you. This flag says Office of student engagement. There was more to this lag something and I guess in the translation when it popped up, but it had other campus partners that we work with and I'll just mention a couple in a lot of these are summer at Peabody. But a lot of them are over on main campus on the office of LGBTQ life. We work closely with the black Cultural Center.

Office of active citizenship and service does lots with community service. the English language center helps international students. The international student and scholar services. We work very closely with them. The Center for student well well being in campus. Rec both came up all of these we have partnerships and collaborations with all of these offices and want to help you access all of those too so.

So now that those are all here and that we have a great relationship with them and that they are a great resource for you all here at Peabody and at Vanderbilt.

OK moving on to Peabody Professional and graduate student or yes, so we actually have several organizations that are specifically for our professional graduate students. My apologies that you cannot see the first one here again. That would be just some formatting issues with the slides, but on the first organization that I wanted to talk to you about is the Irish Journal of scholarship and what the original scholarship? Is is a published Journal both on line an imprint.

Here at Peabody that is specifically for our professional students. So RNEDNPPNEDD students and this idea actually came out of student voice. Our students reached out 2 years ago and said, we've really want an opportunity to publish while we're here are non doctoral PhD students. They wanted an opportunity to publish the work that they were doing in the classroom and have a way to have something tangible when they left Peabody.

And so our our wonderful uh senior associate Dean Sharing Shield said, OK, we're going to figure out a way to make this happen and we released our first print an online version that you can actually find on the Peabody website to our online journals last spring and there, actually currently in their second iteration. Now, taking open calls for papers and what's really great is that they allow for papers of a very, very like diverse set of students so we've got policy briefs we've got.

Memos we've got literature reviews, we've got a variety of different types of writing that are being displayed in that Journal so that the work that you're doing in the classroom can really be married with your personal interests. The things that you hope to pursue after you leave Peabody and get a really great time really great opportunity to publish that while you're here and get great feedback. Peer feedback are writing studio on campus provides a lot of great resources for those students.

Yes, so it is the Iris Journal of scholarship is the name of that publication and you can find it on our online database or if you go to our website. There's a link for our student organizations and you'll be able to find the link to that online publication as well, absolutely and then I'm going to let everybody kind of talk about some of the various organizations as well. So we're talking about PCB GP body coalition of black graduate and we try to have a monthly meeting.

And what students can come one of my favorite monthly meetings was in November. We collaborated with Obi gaps again and we did a board game night so about 15 students came we had chips snacks and soda. We played heads up with which is like the charades games and like his other game with just like Cards Against Humanity and I think it's fun, but were open to ideas and there's also leadership opportunity. So if you're interested in developing at the student leader on campus while you're in Graduate School or professional school. This is a great opportunity and it's kind of cool that you can make the organization as.

You see fit each year by taking voice from your peers and seeing what the needs on campus are what changes as the student populace changes that the built environment changes. So I would encourage you to come and get involved. I hope to see you when you visit campus.

So the Peabody Professional and graduate Student Advisory Council is comprised of.

So people like students from each program here, everybody and their goal is to like provide like voices for students so that's that's another great way to get involved on campus and also like to develop as a student leader so like yeah, if you have like if they're like any like issues or like things that you'd like to see like to bring to campus offer any resources like that's a great way to voice like you're like your interest and like try to implement those things that Peabody.

And I'll add a little bit. This is Megan again about the Advisory Council. We used to have an organization here that that was the precursor to P to PPGSAC, an it was the Peabody Professional Graduate Student Association and it took a hiatus for about a year and it was student voice that said, We want this we want to bring it back and so we worked with students last year and really revamped this so that there were students from each program from each Department.

They had a town Hall recently where no faculty or administrators were there, but students had an opportunity to voice issues. Concerns successes things that they really liked things that they'd like to see differently and that was brought to brought to us and so we are now working on addressing some of those things and celebrating. Some of the successes. So we really value that organization, and will do everything we can to support it and see that it continues.

Peabody Jewish Association is for our Jewish students. They often work with main campus. Hello there is a very active Jewish student body. Both undergrad professional an grad. They do a lot of neat events. They do a lot of community building where students that are not of the Jewish faith or tradition are welcome to attend things so that they can learn more and we have found that to be a great community builder for our students mazes another new organization getting its.

Foundation set this year and that came from a student coming to meet with us. It's a group of a Mandarin Chinese students out of that human development counseling program who wanted to develop an organization that supports Chinese students. Holistic Lee as they transition to not only Graduate School, but for some students to being in the United States away from home and what all of that looks like Holistic Lee for students so great student organization for.

Are Chinese professional students and last but not least? I've had the great opportunity this past year to be one of the Co chairs of twittering education and development with one of my really good friends that I met through this program so that organization focuses specifically on working with and connecting people in the LGBT at Q Plus Community at Peabody and similarly to what everyone else is said the 3 main goals that we really have is sort of.

Internally, connecting students with other students from similar backgrounds them on campus and then also externally connecting students to the broader national community as a whole because it can be very difficult to connect with other people from similar groups as you when you're moving to a new city, but then we also try and focus on providing cool educational opportunities for students as well. So working with different faculty speakers, bringing up outside speakers for different series and like I said, I really just focusing on different ways.

To bring communities together and make sure that you have a place on campus also working to help other people learn more about different communities and backgrounds on campus as well.

And again I will say that um this is by no means like a an extended list of all of the opportunities for student organizations or for new storm was student organizations. We always want to encourage as as our student population changes and grows. We want all of our perspective. Students an admitted students to know that if you ever see an opportunity or are currently participating in an organization that you feel like would really benefit the campus here or your experience here.

Or the experiences of other students here at Peabody. We always want to encourage you to come by our office chat with Megan and I and let's figure out a way in which we can make that happen in some capacity. Whether it might be just a one time event that you want to bring to campus or is it a sustainable organization that you might want to build and create a legacy for the work that you want to do after you leave Peabody so that's really how all of these organizations started and we're really, really proud of the fact that.

Buy in by no means are we saying that these organizations have to exist. Our students have said We want these to be here and we want to be active in this and create other opportunities for students to get engaged so always keep that in mind that we want this to be a conversation I'm going to answer quickly. Somebody asked if maze has a full name. So I just pulled it up and so maze is actually a 501C3 nonprofit out of New York and so the students work with this non profit and so it the acronym stands for mentality.

Advocacy zeal an empowerment, so that that is the acronym for maze.

Wonderful OK, so moving along we wanted to share just a little bit about student voice and we're going to have each of the students read one of these just so you get an idea of a little bit more about our programs. Anne Anne what students are thinking about them. Events like narrative circles. An Peabody Social. Give me the platform to form connections and feel like a part of the Peabody community.

This office has supported us and planning our events and advertising them. OSC also helps us with logistics to run our events such as how to get funding? How to obtain event space and how to find hosts for the events. The staff are committed to helping us whenever we need it.

I love the fun events.

Steffy's office organizes for us to connect with students and faculty like trivia night, an wine and TT.

They are lots of fun and also provide important ways for me to connect with people. I don't normally see very often. OSC supports the work of numerous student organizations at Peabody recently. I became the leader of Peabody Coalition for black graduates. The office has supported me as we've developed programming amended the constitution and perform strategic planning for the academic year without OSC support the organization would not exist.

OK, so this is the formatting is off again, but on the final slide. It talks about what we believe in and Courtney and I are just going to share and then we're going to open it up to questions from you also we believe in building a community of inclusion and support. We believe in building relationships based on caring and respect. We believe in contributing to learning and growth. Outside the classroom. We believe in the values of Justice, an equity. We believe in contributing to and supporting the well being of our professional.

Let's students.

So, in a nutshell that is the office of student engagement and well being and we would love to open it up to questions that you all might have for us.

And thank you to those who ask questions during the presentation as well. 'cause we really want to make sure that any questions that you have for us. You know, we're here to answer OK. So I'm looking at the one can, we keep a pet in the dorm room. I think that students don't typically live in dorm rooms that are here for professional graduate students who are typically living off campus. I do not think that pets are allowed in the dorms for the undergraduate students unless it's a case where it's a pet therapy dog.

So I think that if you're living off campus that might be an option, but you would have to check with your your apartment or wherever your preferred living.

Oh, you're so welcome we're really thankful that y'all tuned in an as you can see our email addresses are on there. They just might not be the easiest to see but again, you can you can go to our website and find any of the information or feel free to reach out to admissions they could put you in touch with any of us. If you have any lingering questions or think of anything after this.

Hum.

Yeah, I can talk about the so the cost of living in Nashville in my mind. It really just sort of comes down to how to best arrange? What your priorities are so when I was looking for a place to live. I just sort of looked at what was most important to me in my housing and then spend a lot of time on Zillow and apartments.com to sort of figure out Watt. My price range could dictate for that, so for me for example.

I hate driving into work and class and sitting in cars and sitting in traffic, so I knew that I wanted to live someplace very close to campus where I could walk to my job walk to class and things like that, so knowing that I wanted that there aren't really too many like nice one bedroom apartments right by campus for that to happen. So I knew that I would need to live with a roommate sort of bring that cost down a little bit, but that was sort of my own decision for what I wanted to have some people are much more.

Open to taking public transportation or driving a little farther having a longer commute. An order to get here. But I really do think it depends on figuring out what it is. It's important to you and why you need out of your housing and then just sort of spending time while you're in Nashville visiting or on apartments. Com sort of searching for different neighborhoods for what you would want from that, I will say to that the University has a very extensive housing website.

For our students who are looking to live off campus and they actually have like a roommate Finder on there so I would recommend checking out that website because they do keep that very up-to-date with any type of updates in apartments with available leases an again, helping you find a roommate also once you were admitted to Peabody will be placed in a group on Facebook with all of the other admitted students. An icy time and time again every year students connecting from different programs different apartments on there.

And finding roommates simply by posting in that Facebook group and saying. Hey, you know, I'm looking to live in this particular area of Nashville is anyone looking for a roommate so it really provides a really great space, A controlled space to find people that you know have been admitted to Peabody and are also looking for roommates. So I think that that's something to keep in mind as well. and I think Andrew did a great job of talking about just thinking about what are the non negotiables of how close do you want to campus do not want to have to commute?

Is commuting an option for you and then I'll also talk briefly about the question about the bus uhm? I do not know the exact timing, but the city of Nashville runs a bus schedule. I'm fairly certain 24 hours a day. Annuar Vanderbilt ID gets you on that bus so as long as you are student at Vanderbilt. You can use the bus system here in Nashville and you can access all of that. I think through Metro Nashville's website for all of their public transportation.

That would be the best website to go to to check the timing of the bus schedule an where it drops off.

From my own Lane. I'm looking at your question about how and when how early into your graduate career. Did you find on campus graduate assistantships? I think a lot of our students secure their assistantships before they get here? Is that this is Kim browser. Director of graduate admissions. I don't think it's most of them. I think that there's a some of them do. But a lot of the people. Find assistantships after they come to campus. Ohio is slightly terrifying. But the reason for that is the way the funding grant funding and things like that fault.

So some students do, find assistantships before they get to campus. But I know several students who are very stressed about it and took the leap and then after they got here they found assistantships. So it's kind of you both ways. Yeah, I was one of those people who like I was. I was searching before I came, but also like it was important. I talked like my program director before I got here and like when I got here and she connected me too. 'cause like sometimes get there also system ship that you might not like see like.

Online uhm so yeah, I talked to her and I found some like I'm a graduate system for the noise. Scholars program and like by talking to her and she knew the supervisors of that program. I was able to like network by my assistantship that way. So yeah, it is terrifying, but now I have, like 2 assistantships and like you know, I'm able to like live life. So it is scary but I feel like everyone usually finds like in assistantship or some other type of job like on or off campus.

Yeah, so.

A man then the question about the part time job while being apart of the Peabody campus. Peabody does have a limit. I would say to the number of hours that can be worked on campus. So most of the assistantships cap out at 20 hours a week special, special circumstances can be made. But those have to be approached through your supervisor with your assistantship. An also the associate Dean so those are given on a case by case basis.

But Yes, the assistantships, um for working on campus are capped at 20 hours a week for students and I would also add the peabodys in a very good position sort of simply located in Nashville and that you can get positions on Vanderbilt campus, but also you can connect with other college campuses around the city Belmont. For example, is just a block away from campus and I know a lot of people who work there national is also the capital is safe. Tennessee and so our education policy departments are located in the city as well. So there are tons of people that work with.

Different educational departments like the Tennessee Board of Regents on the Tennessee Department of Education through assistantships and part time positions to supplement their education as well.

Let's see I can open this is Kim again. I can go ahead and answer. The question about are there people working full time and also going to school full time in some programs. Yes, some programs that is something that with the scheduling. It can be worked out. I wouldn't say it's typical, especially with our licensure programs because you have to be in the school. But Yes, some people do work full time while they're going to school full time.

And, yes, we will be here on the 19th so far. Hey, if you would like to come and see us on the 19th. I know that we will be working and available and I think some of the admissions folks will still be here on the 19th. So yes, please if you come to Peabody come to the administration building and we'd love to see you and get to know you in person and like to speak to like working full time so 3 people in my cohort or working full time, but also that's because it all up on the learning diversity in Urban Studies program all of our classes are like.

4:00 PM or like 5 at 4:10 PM or 5:10 PM, so you can you know like you could work during the day but also like hearing from them like you just have to be like very like.

Um strategic about like and like user like have a good time management skills because it is a lot of like course work on that. You have to do on Top of like working full time job so I think it's doable. But it requires a lot of planning and like being strategic about everything.

Yeah, so again if if you think of any other questions after the web and R feel free to reach out to admissions or if you can read our email address is right, there copy those down you can also visit our website. It will be a little under construction, but the email addresses are still there. For now, so, so please. Feel free to do that, then we will go on an rap it up and just say thank you so much for tuning in today. We hope that we were able to give you a little bit of perspective about what our office does to support and engage our students.
