as most of you know [hopefully] i’ve been working alongside of some really incredible people in our college department, real life. one of the biggest needs real life had when i took the position was a re-brand. the program, although growing, was in need of a makeover. a facelift. a little bit o’love. through much deliberation, some meetings and a lot of time we finally landed on some decisions to officially change the name from real life to the passport. the changes came for a lot of different reasons that you can read about.
there’s a team of us who have been working really hard over the last few weeks to pull this thing off. from videos to all kinds of design elements, the IT guys and our copywriters. so many people put in so much effort to make the launch a success. the change officially took place on tuesday, september 6th.
i am so excited to be a part of something that is changing and growing and morphing into something so great. real life was already awesome. now it’s just more awesome. please, please, please check out all of our new stuff. be sure to like us on facebook and follow us on twitter. we just sent out 89 more crazy college kids this week. we’re expecting to launch almost 500 more in 2012. these 18-22 year olds are changing the world.
they get to go because there are some of us sitting behind a desk in gainesville. some people design beautiful things, some refresh our website. some take care of them on the field or help them support raise. they get to go because we’re here. and we’re here; i’m here because you have chosen to invest in me, in what i’m doing and in who i am.
thank you. thank you. thank you.
thank you for keeping me here. thank you for allowing me the privilege it is to be a part of the passport.
i’m still in need of one-time and monthly supporters to come alongside of me on this journey. if you’d like to give you can go here. if you have questions or want to talk please let me know.
