Today we were involved in a successful team- building activity that also familiarized us with the campus. This was efficient in that it required us to get to know one another as well as erase any fear of talking with the people we passed on the campus. As a result, a lot of the nerves that accompanied the "first day at work" were dismissed. After the search for pictures across the campus, we sat down for pizza while Mr. Pow introduced us to the field of Imaging Science and its growing importance in the modern world. It was neat and interesting to see the strides that RIT has made in this area. Next, we worked out the issues regarding cards and accounts for interns quickly and at the same time had another opportunity to relax in this new environment and get to know the other interns. Finally, each intern met with their adviser which served as a great ice- breaker. This first day got rid of the butterflies so that I can now focus on being attentive, focused, relaxed and successful in this exciting opportunity.
