Dining Out

I'm on the special education search committee that's looking for a new professor to come to UMF to take over the spot that will be available in fall 2011 due to the retirement of Sue. We did phone interviews with all the applicants and we picked our top three to bring to campus. It's actually a lot of work, but one of the perks is getting to go out to eat a nice meal with a candidate. We had three candidates scheduled to come to campus over a three-week period. But the first candidate got iced out of leaving her home town (and would have been here for our snow day), so that candidate was rescheduled for the next week. That meant two candidates in one week. Four nights of dinner with candidates. Good thing we have some really great choices of restaurants in the area. Two dinners at The Homestead, one night at Calzolaio Pasta, and one at The Granary. That's my idea of a good time. :-)
