For those of you of you who I have not me, my name is Devon
Walker. I am from Colorado and recently
moved to Oklahoma this past August (I have loved living in Norman so far)! I will be completing my management rotation
with OU housing and food for the next nine weeks, which I am really excited
about. Everyone has welcomed me with
warm smiles and made me feel very comfortable.
I can already tell that I am going to thoroughly enjoy my time here. I am thrilled I get the opportunity to learn
from experienced management employees within this setting.
During my first week at OU housing & food services I was
able to get an overall picture of the management process, which will help for
the remaining eight weeks here. I have
been going through the orientation process and reading over materials regarding
management. I have also had the chance
to meet with Shawn Henry (Director of Retail Operations) and Robert Weaver (Director
of Board Operations) to ask questions and get a better understanding of what
they do. It was interesting hearing the different roles of management within
the OU organization. As one of my
projects with Dot Flowers, I began working on an OU food allergy action plan. I found this pretty interesting reading about
what other schools have done and applying the information to meet OU standards. Thursday, I was able to attend a manager’s
meeting, which was extremely helpful. I
was able to put faces to names and listen in on what each person does to help
keep the operations running smoothly.
I had a great time my first week meeting different members
of the OU housing & dining team. It has
also been really nice eating lunch at the Couch restaurants with Dot each day! :)
