New Changes, New Progress

    Sometimes in life, changes are needed. Changes are always happening in life, whether for better or worse. You may not realize it, but every single you are making changes and choices that are impacting yourself and your future. Over the last year, I have had significant changes in my life and career, mostly good. When these changes happen, it is key that you adapt to them and figure out the best way to move forward. 

    A significant change occurred last winter for our men's basketball program. After over six years, our head coach decided to part ways and leave the program. When you are around that person daily for three years, that is a huge change to yourself and the program. When we got the news, it was shocking, but we knew we couldn't dwell on it because it was time for a brand-new start. After the announcement, the search for a new coaching staff began immediately and we were on the prowl for the best fit possible for our program. Ohio Northern is prestige basketball program with a lot of rich history, including a National Title in 1993 with Coach Joe Campoli, so getting the right coach was a huge deal. 

    After months of searching and going through the interview process, we decided on Neal Young from Covenant College in Tennessee. Coach Young has been nothing short of fantastic so far and has completely changed our culture. Along with Coach Young, he brought aboard Jon Tropf from Goshen College in Indiana who has great knowledge of the game and is a family man. Change can be scary, but looking back at it, I am very glad. It will take time, but I believe our program and culture are moving forward in the right direction and I can't wait to put Ohio Northern back on the map.

Marketing Campaigns

    We can use many things in the social media world to our advantage, including social media marketing campaigns. In short, it is a campaign used to target an audience and advance your business and company in the long-run. It can also come from actions that can lead to influencers or audience to certain types of things. These campaigns can be most affective just like a lot of other things and that is by setting your goals and audience before you start your campaign.      You need to know where you want your campaign located at and what you want it to do. For example, social media is the main spot but you can also have it in other spots that can reach awareness also.

First Half, First Semester

    My senior year of college is flying right by. It is crazy to think we are almost complete with the first six weeks of the semester. It seems like just yesterday I was moving back into my house for the school year. I am trying to cherish every moment this year and slow time down as much as possible because the real world is sitting on my doorstep.        This semester has been good for me so far. Since I moved in six weeks ago, I have been back home for a total of four hours, which can be hard for me sometimes. I finally got home last Saturday for a couple hours and it was fantastic. I got to see my family and go out to eat with them at Side Rail in Wapakoneta. Those are the moments I will never trade for the world, and I always cherish them. Busy has been an understatement this semester. Between practices, classes, and projects, I have been moving non-stop since I came back to Ada. Some people have mixed feelings about always being busy, but I love it. ...
