It’s been quite the experience taking the theories from papers, assignments, and whatnot, and applying them to a real-life situation; it’s a great feeling to actually be a positive impact to an organization using what you’ve learned. I was even more pleasantly surprised by the experience – perhaps you all can related – of accidentally using methods and theories from OD, finding that, even if I can’t rattle all the specifics off on demand, they’ve somehow burrowed their way into my mind to be used when it counts.
It’s been a pleasure working with the students with whom I’ve had some sort of connection with – through group projects, discussion groups, or what have you – and a few of the professors I’ve been able to chat with along the way. I hope to connect with all of you in the future, and best of luck to everyone.
