Every new year is full of new energy, new experiences, and new resolutions to begin the year. The Higher Education Student Association (HESA) kicked off the 2017 Spring semester at UA with an exciting and productive retreat for its members led by the Executive Board. The retreat started with a enjoyable trip to All Fired Up in Tuscaloosa, Alabama for a fun evening of arts and crafts. All Fired Up is the best place to slow down and paint away your stress of daily life! Students were able to catch up after the holidays while painting a unique piece of art that would be fired in the kiln for the finished product. Following All Fired Up, the retreat continued in The University of Alabama Ferguson Center with pizza and the business portion of the evening. Co-Presidents’ Charles and McMaken led an impactful brainstorming discussion on the current state of HESA and new, innovative ways the Higher Education program and the organization can work together. Seven boxes of pizza and many conversations, laughs, and large sticky notes later, HESA was able to establish goals for the semester and beyond. HESA looks to kick-off the month of February with a General Body Meeting on February 7, HEA & GA Preview Days February 18-20, and a Professional Development workshop on February 21.
