This is cool. A few months ago I got a letter from the College of Arts & Letters at MSU saying that I had been nominated to apply for the school’s Alumni Association Board of Directors. I submitted an application, and then never heard anything for several months.
Well, there was a letter in today’s mail that said I had been chosen to serve on the board!
My feelings can best be summarized by this clip from Curb Your Enthusiasm:
My first meeting isn’t until October, and my term will last through 2011. In all honesty, I still don’t fully understand what my responsibilities will be as a board member, but there’s an alumni get-together before the Iowa football game this fall that I’m supposed to go to. I guess I’ll get the lowdown then.
For now… go, me!

Oh my gosh dude, that’s fricken awesome!!!! When I think of any sort of board, I think of old business guys who suck…. well, not all of them but dude, now you’re one of them!!!! It’s actually a pretty high honor man, I’m proud of you. This is huge for us!!!! It’s like rags to riches, getting beat by two handicapped kids to on the board of directors!!! You ROCK!
I always wanted to be an old, rich, white guy.
Two out of three ain’t bad.
So…which two are you? I’m pretty sure you’ve got the “white guy” part nailed. Rich? Old? By the standards of most people, you’re neither. This is still cool…I await a similar invitation from Communication Arts and Sciences at MSU…(tick tock…tick tock…)
I’m awaiting my invite to join the Board of Directors for the CDOA, College Drop Out Association.
