We were on Good Morning America this morning! Watch the episode at http://abcnews.go.com/watch/good-morning-america/SH5587637.

Wednesday morning some of our UWO SHRM members were on the Today Show! We started our morning with a tour of NBC studios. At the end of the tour, we were fortunate enough to run into a camera crew taping a segment for the Today Show with Kathie Lee Gifford. She was doing some Indianapolis 500 trivia.

We went back to the Boys and Girls Club in the afternoon. We again helped with homework and made some worksheets. Also some of us participated in a discussion about sexual harassment with the older students.

We capped off our night with a Broadway show. God's Love We Deliver gave us free tickets to a show. Our seats were great!

Tuesday we had our company tour. The President of HRNY, the NYC professional chapter of SHRM was kind enough to set up our tour. We visited Parsons Brinckerhoff, one of the world's leading planning, engineering, and program and construction management organizations. We were greeted with bagels and other refreshments. We spent the morning with representatives from all of their major HR divisions and the Vice President of HR. We learned more about the company and what they do in their areas of HR. We then went to Astron Solutions, a human resources consulting firm. Here we had lunch with the staff and another member of HRNY. They were kind enough to answer questions and feed us some great NYC pizza.

We went back to the Boys and Girls Club in the afternoon. We again assisted with homework and played games. However, this time a group of us started putting together worksheets that can be used to provide students with additional practice in both math and reading.

Monday morning was our first day volunteering. We were up bright and early to take the subway to God's Love We Deliver. This agency makes and delivers nutritious meals to people who are suffering from serious illnesses such as AIDS/HIV and cancer. There we received orientation. We nominated three leaders who were taught delivery routes and how to pack meals for clients. Those leaders then broke the rest of us into three groups. Each group packed meals and split up to deliver meals in different parts of the city. We had the opportunity to see parts of the city we had not yet seen and meet some very kind people who seemed happy to get their food. We grabbed a quick lunch and made our way to the Madison Square Boys and Girls Club Navy Yard Clubhouse in Brooklyn. There we had the opportunity to assist students with homework, play games, and a few of us even participated in a dance class.

We arrived in New York City Saturday evening. Our adventure began Sunday morning. We navigated the subway to Battery Park where we caught a ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. We then visited Ground Zero and St. Paul's Chapel, the church where many gathered during and after the 9/11 tragedy. We ate lunch in Chinatown and balanced this with a little dessert while shopping in Little Italy. We walked from there into Soho. After more exploring, we headed into Times Square. We ended the night celebrating one of our student's birthdays at the Hard Rock Cafe.
