My alarm clock goes off at 4:30AM initially, but i hit snooze for 5:15AM. I wake up, hygiene myself and drive to campus to begin my day. I start with a one hour weightroom workout, after my workout as I head home to get ready for work. I stop by the office and place the reserved parking signs for our visiting students of that day in the proper place.I then journey home take a nice warm shower. I put my breastfast on while i shave and get dressed for work. After, prayer and a few encouraging scriptures I eat and head out the door for campus.

I walk into the office each morning smiling and greeting those who have beat me to work. I try to at least be one of the first three people here (competitive). I check my email, return calls to students, evaluate transcripts and ACT scores, but the most enjoyable portion of work is at 10:00AM when we have vistors. I get the opportunity to meet with families and encourage high school seniors to attend Troy University. This is my favorite part of the work day not only because of the impact I can make on the students but i would have to say it's the fact that i learn something new for each student i encounter. Our office is really laid back each person here works hard and stays in their own lane.

Once tours for the visiting students are over instead of taking lunch, I have to head out to teach my leadership class. Teaching is a passion I have so this sparks my day. Although teaching is my passion on Monday this is the hardest park of the day for me because by 12;00PM that 7:30AM breakfast has worn off and my stomach is now openly communicating with me. At 12:50PM my class ends and I walk back to the Admissions Office to finish my day calling, emailing, and udating the records of prospective students.

Coordinate the affairs of my class. Pay attention to the attendance of students. Also, the status of any student's lacking behind in the class work. Visit the office of the dean for any pending relevant information. The college makes available career-related contents, including linking them school with the information of relevant opportunity in another university.  
Implement a conducive environment for learning and interact with in order to create a positive social change. A multi-faceted course system is set up in order to accommodate students schedule and open an opportunity for instructors to teach part-time in order to facilitate business productivity. Updates of the legislation affecting the school system and the effects of the legislation are often communicated by the legislative chairman.
Academically the teachers are amazing and doing their best to fit each student's academic needs, Personally, I have high optimism every year as a professor the that the institution will be accredited by one of the six well-known bodies a feat they achieved last year.

Working at the Natural Science Center at Troy University allowed me to keep up with my knowledge of basic mathematics (up to calculus) and the sciences. A typical day at work included tutoring students from freshman level to senior in both mathematics and sciences depending on their needs. Tutoring required not only the appropriate amount of knowledge on the subject, but also the ability to teach. This also included helping students with their lab reports. All of my co-workers were students at the university. We worked closely together to ensure that students had a better understanding of their subject before leaving. The hardest part of the job was keeping up with the subjects, but this was not difficult after the first semester of work. The most enjoyable part of the job was helping students succeed in their classes.

I am a people person and I really enjoy working with each and every student that comes through the door. I help them out and by either registering them for classes, problems and issues they have. The students know that they can come to me with a problem or issues and I will either have an answer for them or I will find an answer fro them. 
I worked with over 50 adjuncts in the education department and I work well with all of them. I make sure they get the classes they like to teach,rooms that they like. I also do payroll for the education department. I do the schedule for each semester making sure that that the classes that are offered during each semester will work for most of our students and if not I try to make sure we can set up a class so that they may graduate. I work graduation fro Troy and I love I when the students appreciate you. That feels my heart !!!!!!!!!

Troy Universtiy provides solid education for students with a variety of undergraduate and graduate programs. The primary campus is located in Troy, Alabama but they also have site locations globally and offer courses online. It was a great place to work and I loved every day of the job I had with them. My co workers were some of the most incredible people I have ever worked with. Though it has been quite a while since I worked at Troy, and we are scattered all over the country, some of those people are still very good friends and we keep in touch. Every day was different and I knew I could always anticipate a challenge and a reward by the end of the day. If you have the opportunity to work for this school, take it.

Completed my Bachelor of Science in United States History with minors in American Political Science and European History. Completed a year early (3 years), As an undergraduate, I was inducted into two different honor societies:
     Alpha Sigma Lambda
     Gamma Beta Phi
          I was chapter president of the Troy Montgomery chapter of Gamma Beta Phi from 1998 to 2000, and I helped to instill changes in the chapter, such as posting the chapter newsletter online and eliminating mailing out paper newsletters, which saved the chapter money.
     As a Graduate student, I worked in the History Department of the university and helped to teach US History I & II classes, lead mid-term and final exam reviews, craft questions for mid-terms and finals, and anything else the instructor needed done.

The people I worked with were always helpful and extremely knowledgeable about their jobs. Both jobs with Troy University taught me many things that will help me in my future careers. From my phonathon job, I learned how to deal with rude people who did not want to donate to the university. It was a nice job, but some people are never happy when they get asked for donations, so I had to develop a thick skin. In the Athletic Training Department, I learned how to fax, scan, and work with others in an office setting. I took phone calls for the department and made calls to health providers. I helped organize files. I would definitely recommend working for Troy University.

Day starts with a cup of coffee to boost you senses. Checking emails and prioritize them according to their severity.

HOSTILE WORKING ENVIRONMENT. MANAGEMENT HAS NO REGARD FOR HUMAN DECENCY. UNPROFESSIONAL AND INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR IS NON-STOP.
