During the winter break, many of us from the OLLU community will be keeping busy. At the Lake Front we thought it would be interesting to see what kinds of activities various administration, faculty and staff members plan to do during the break. We decided to ask people about their plans, and the following responses were kindly shared with us. Happy Holidays from the Lake Front!

“My plan is to attend my first Alamo Bowl and cheer the Penn State Nittany Lions to victory!!!”

--- Mark Center, director of Residence Life

“Spending quiet time with my family, enjoy seeing my beautiful 4-year-old granddaughter, Audrey, open her Christmas presents on Christmas morning, delivering Christmas food baskets to some less-fortunate families as a member of the Blue Knights Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, reflecting on the many blessings granted to me and my family this year, and praying for the entire University and CDP community.”

--- A.J. Sandoval, chief of police/director of Campus Safety

“I have a few family members from out of town staying with us during the break, and I am looking forward to catching up with them. I also plan to go to a few movies.”

--- Gloria Urrabazo, vice president of Mission Effectiveness

“I plan to finish writing my latest play, “Refugee,” for submission to the Last Frontier Theater Conference in Valdez, Alaska, and to begin rewriting the second draft of my novel, “Talking to the Dead.” In between those two projects, I hope to watch lots of movies and catch up on some reading.”

--- Antoinette Winstead, professor and chair of the Communication Arts Program

“During the winter break, I plan to visit my 91-year-old mother in San Angelo, celebrate my son’s 22nd birthday on December 22, and possibly attend a spiritual New Year’s Eve retreat at the H-E-B Foundation Camp near Leakey, Texas, where some fabulous musicians from New York will be performing.”
