Husson University

Very enjoyable position in an organization seeking strong professionals to teach and mentor students. They received a 2 year grant to develop an Institute for Continuing Education for Health Professionals. I was the founding Director. The most enjoyable part of the job was using creative energy to develop inter-professional learning experiences through innovative methods. The Deans of Nursing and Pharmacy were both my supervisors, who recognized my talents and fully supported my talents. The workplace culture was energetic, positive and supportive. The hardest part of the position was that I was basically a team of "one" in the institute, but also got wonderful opportunities to learn and feature research and build collaboration of various programs at the University. The most enjoyable part was the intellectual freedom to create inter-professional perspective in healthcare professionals, professors, and students. We built increased collaboration between Husson and area healthcare professionals and organizations.

A typical day at work would be setting up an event, catering the event, and tearing it down. Working this job I have learned that attention to detail is critical. Placing a piece of flatware in the wrong place could make a tremendous difference in the professionalism that I am representing for the company. The management where I work is relaxed and stern at the same time. My manager has a great personality, but if your not getting the job done she will re-establish the level of work she expects in a heartbeat. My co-workers are outgoing with a great sense of humor. They work very hard, and this motivates me to raise my level of work. Although we have fall-outs, we communicate very well. I would say the hardest part of the job is the amount of detail you have to comprehend. Maintaining a smile and good vibe while not feeling well is also a challenge at times. Working with my co-workers is the most enjoyable part of the job. We have created a work environment that makes me look forward to going to work everyday.

Working as a library assistant has been a rewarding experience, offering a unique blend of organization and community engagement. The role allows me to facilitate the seamless functioning of the library while fostering a welcoming environment for patrons. Assisting individuals in locating resources, navigating databases, and recommending materials has been a joy, contributing to the shared love of knowledge within our community.

The diverse tasks, from cataloging new arrivals to coordinating events, keep each day dynamic and engaging. Collaborating with colleagues and interacting with patrons of all ages enhances my interpersonal and communication skills. Moreover, being surrounded by the wealth of literary and informational resources nurtures my passion for continuous learning. As a library assistant, I am not merely aiding in the daily operations but actively participating in the dissemination of knowledge and fostering a sense of community—a truly fulfilling aspect of this role.

I learned a lot about different management techniques in my time at Husson University Security. 

Your typical day at work was anything but typical and that was one of the things I liked about it. You never knew if the day would simply consist of simple checks on boilers and locking or unlocking buildings or if it would be one of those nights where you wouldn't have a moment to rest because the fire department was showing up as well as emergency services multiple times for multiple reasons. 

My co-workers for the most part were great to work with, everyone has there own quirks and managing you have to learn to manage everyone's quirks for the betterment of the University. 

The hardest part of the job was dealing with a student death. The best part of the job is seeing students you have dealt with over the years and tried to keep out of trouble and harms way graduating at commencement with big smiles on their faces.

I learned that they only give higher position jobs out to new people to try and get them in the kitchen and stay for a while before they can't stand it anymore. Management has no idea how to run a business, let alone expand. I had to elect myself to do the basic things the bosses never think about. And with all the extra effort I put in, I never got appreciated. Did more work, and quicker, than anyone there. But they wanted to save higher paying jobs to hook new people to come in... New people who didn't know what a hard days work is.

Strengths:
Motivated students, excellent well educated pharmacy practice faculty, great area to live, and they have treated me well for 10 years even though they released me secondary to coronavirus financial impact.  Good opportunity for an experienced PharmD, has many young assistant professors already that can be led well.

Areas to Improve:
Needs more pharmacists in leadership, currently the dean, department chair of pharmacy practice, and two assistant deans have no training in pharmacy nor are they licensed to practice pharmacy.  Needs an executive dean or associate dean with a PharmD with clinical experience.  Currently only the director of experiential education has the degree that is provided to the students.

I enjoyed working with the staff snd students, as a dorm officer there were many challenges, intoxicated students, drugs, fights, climbing stairs in four dorm buildings was physically strenuous 3 buildings with 9 floors and 1 with 5. Each building had 3 sets of stairs plus walking the entire campus. Security for games and events as well as graduation, loved the Residential life staff they were great to work with, over all a great work experience.

Working for husson for several years I can tell the school dose not care about the auxiliary departments. They constantly raise tuition on students but the money dosent come back to the facilities that need it most. Instead they spend money on a new building that dose not operate properly and cut budgets elsewhere. The dinning department is over worked to feed everyone but they cut our labor. So as we get sick and burn out they blame us, and our managers get angry at us for being sick and calling out. It has gotten to the point that thinking about work and going in make me physically sick.

Typical day was cooking to order, cashiering, cleaning up, stocking product and customer service. I learned how to multi-task with a line of orders and getting them done on time and right way. The management was awesome and they were always willing to teach you. Co-workers were okay. Some were friends some were random students but we all got along and did our jobs. The job wasn't all that hard if you did your job and were efficient and clean. I enjoyed it and I would definitely do it again even just for fun.

Husson University has a great work culture. No matter what your position is within the university, you have the opportunity to have a positive impact on the students. There is an atmosphere of mutual respect among the employees and administration alike. One of the best places I have ever worked.
