Howard W. Hewitt – Most faculty and staff members at Wabash College take their role as mentors very seriously. We all do it in different ways.
My interest in wine has snuck on to the pages of Wabash Magazine and the website on more than one occasion. So when the folks at Career Services asked me to lead a wine education event for seniors, I was really excited.
We had approximately 20 Wabash men Wednesday, April 27, attend to learn wine basics, restaurant protocol, wine etiquette, and how to taste and evaluate new wines. But the whole point of the session was as much about business as it was wine.
“Students don’t necessarily understand that we have a variety of resources to help them tremendously,” Director of Career Services Scott Crawford told The Bachelor.
“The wine tasting and the golf outing we have coming up are both based on teaching students how to develop themselves,” Crawford explained. “You never know who you’re going to be dealing with and what your role may be in hosting them.
“We see our role at Career Services as preparing students for life after Wabash,” Crawford said, “We have a lot of graduates who look back and wish they had been involved in these things. We see that often.”
Freshman Ian Baumgardner was at the event, not tasting, shooting photos for The Bachelor. Here is a an album of his photos.
