Call Outs

Here at Purdue, I see call out dates everywhere: on flyers, through email, school paper, websites, and even chalking. When I stared school here at Purdue, I did not think twice about call outs. My only thoughts were on my classes, grades, friends, and what kind of life I wanted to live here. I was a younger person who did not realize call outs could actually be helpful.

Since those younger days, I have been to many call outs. Surprisingly, the chalking were the most beneficial to me. They were always easy to read, always in eyesight and some are done very a pealing to my eye. I did find a lot of other call outs by other means, but for me personally, I always enjoyed chalking. They never caused trouble for janitors because there was nothing to be cleaned at the end. No papers to throw away or anything. Rain simply washed them away.

But to get to the main point, call outs are very beneficial for people. They get you involved in the Purdue live, become apart of something and help you learn more about ideas that interest you. Call outs can help you in many ways. They can go into detail about what the club, event, or contest is all about. If you ask me, it can never hurt to go to a call out. If you think you are 100% into the club or whatever it is, you could be wrong when you learn more at the call out. It could even have the opposite effect! If you are not 100% sure about doing the event, the call out could be the push you need to get you interested.

From a person who has been a major part of some call outs we have had here for LACD, I know people find out more information about what they are getting themselves into. You can even meet people who can help you further yourself in your career. They could even be the people who remember you down the road and help you get a job. All in all, branch out and try something new; it cannot hurt.
