Recommendation from Abby Hensley, Director of Development – Hutson School of Agriculture and Student Affairs at Murray State University

“For six quick months, I had the honor of working along side Michelle to build the LGBT Programming Office prospect base. Michelle provided three different perspectives to the interim roll – past president of Alliance student group, Murray State University alumnae, and as a marketing professional. Together, we were able to establish a mailing list of nearly 500 names of individuals or organizations who have shown interest in or have supported the LGBT Programming Office at Murray State. The opportunity for growth became more real with Michelle’s help and understanding of how the world of Development and Student Affairs can work in harmony to reach success.”

I’ve heard great things about Asheville. One coworker just returned from the area and another was heading there. It also popped up on my radar screen a few times as a burgeoning beer and food mecca while I was learning about the hiking opportunities in the area.

Movie Review: Albert Nobbs

Movie Review: Albert Nobbs

I hate to write this, but Albert Nobbs was a flop. Every bit of it: plot, characters, acting, you name it.

First and foremost, Glenn Close played Glenn Close in this movie. I didn’t see a character, a man or even a woman masquerading as a man, the entire point of the film. I saw Glenn Close on screen, with faint hints of Sarah Cooper, Close’s character from The Big Chill. The voice was clearly a woman’s/faux-man’s voice and couldn’t fool anybody. Close’s hair was good, in only that the short cut really looked like her own hair, which it wasn’t. But Close’s feminine lips, eyes and smile lines thoroughly overshadowed the Nobbs character.
