Day Five & Six

Day Five: HealthFlicks

Today was dedicated to the development of my Healthflicks video. I can't wait til it's finished and shared on the web!

Day Six: Interview with Mrs. Diane Turner

Today I took the shuttle bus across the Yale campus to the main library. There, I met Mrs. Diane Turner. She's had a very colorful personality and I enjoyed talking with her. She told me about her job at Library Human Resources and how she hires librarians and decides the salaries of the many people the library employs. She has the responsibility of helping build a team of almost 600 employees and listening to them, so she knows how she could improve the team. Before coming to Yale, she worked in admissions at a University in New York and helped determine students financial aid. She says her job here is important because she recruits, develops, and retains the very best staff possible. She also likes being part of a senior admissions team and being able to attract great talent.
For the second half of the day, I put my ideas for my HealthFlicks video into reality. I learned how to use iMovie and created from scratch what will be my video on Sickle Cell anemia.
