Instead of lecturing you about the awesome trip to Brown University, I thought I'd give you a Storify, a compilation of tweets and photos that will tell you about the trip! Questions? Ask at

Off with @Hall_Gabbi @SMC_Jaukkuri @MattC_TKHW and @mstefanowicz to Brown! #smcvtroadtripMarci Wood
At 2 o'clock on Saturday, the SMC Founders Society crew headed to Brown University in Providence, RI. It was the first time I've ever been!
RT @Hall_Gabbi: Thank you, waiter at Not Your Average Joe's, for your opinion Scientology. #smcvtroadtrip #thisisaweirddinnerMarci Wood
We stopped for dinner in Burlington, MA and had the STRANGEST waiter. The food was delicious, but the waiter said the most awkward things and made weird assumptions that we were all dating.
Well that was officially the strangest dinner of my life. #smcvtroadtripMarci Wood
We spent the last hour of the car ride reliving every detail because it was just so unbelievable. At least we have some great new memories.
You have arrived. #smcvtroadtrip (@ Homewood Suites) http://4sq.com/QszkBGMatt Connolly
When we arrived at the Homewood Suites, we convened in the guys room to go over our presentation one more time. After that, we played a game called "Fish Bowl" which is like charades and you try to act out as many things as you can in 30 seconds. It was absolutely hysterical. I was crying because of laughter.
RT @Hall_Gabbi: This is my pet mosquito-eater. I brought him from California. #smcvtroadtripMarci Wood
During the game, I spotted a bug which I know as the "mosquito eater." I'm sure there is a more technical name, but everyone looked at me like I was crazy. Sometimes being from the west coast is like being from another planet.
When did we become real life people?! Presenting at Brown with @MarciWood @MattC_TKHW @Hall_Gabbi #smcvtroadtripEric Jaukkuri
Good luck @Hall_Gabbi, @SMC_Jaukkuri, @Marciwood, and @MattC_TKHW on your @NEACAC presentation today! #smcvtroadtripFounders Society
We presented in the first session at the NEACAC conference and started promptly at 10:30 am.
#smcvtroadtrip I don't know what this hashtag means! @marciwood @hall_gabbi and all the other people I'm too tired to write in.David Manning
Our opening slide had all of our Twitter handles and the hashtag: #smcvtroadtrip. While most the room was busy taking notes and not tweeting, we did get a couple shout outs from students in the audience and that was a great feeling.
NEACAC Students in Admissions Forum Presentation by Gabbi Hall on PreziCovering All The Angles: How Student Ambassadors, Admissions, and Alumni Relations Work Together to Connect with Future and Past St. Mike...
ROCKED our presentation today! Lots of free shwag, had @DietSarah talk up #smcvt, great times all around @NEACAC #SIAF ... #smcvtroadtripMatt Connolly
The keynote speaker at the event was Sarah Dussault (or @DietSarah), who talked about social media and using it in higher education. While she was extraordinarily nice and obviously knowledgable about social media in her industry, I think NEACAC could have had someone from the HigherEd community presenting as the keynote.
@Hall_Gabbi @neacac it was great to meet you! Glad I could provide some takeawaysSarah Dussault
And she tweeted at me, so that was awesome. She does have 79,000 YouTube subscribers.
Way to go@DietSarah!! You did an awesome job today. #socialmedia #informative #smcvtroadtripEric Jaukkuri
#smcvtroadtrip great presentation today! Just followed the 3 of you! Hope your having a great drive back to VT!Brittany Clayton
So proud of the @SMCFounders coordinators @MarciWood @MattC_TKHW @Hall_Gabbi & @SMC_Jaukkuri on their presentation today! #smcvtroadtripCarrie Pratt
After the presentation, we went and got celebratory frozen yogurt and went to Brown bookstore to splurge on some gear. Eric and I got matching sweatshirts and they are literally the coziest. Obviously, we don't go there, but it's the first time we presented at a conference and I'm sure there will be more to come from all of us!
@mattc_tkhw, @smc_jaukkuri, and I all swagged out in @BrownUniversity gear #smcvtroadtriphall_gabbi
By the end of the car ride, I could tell we were in the "I'm tired and getting giggly" state of mind.
True life. “@Hall_Gabbi: "I'm perfecting my squirrel call,"@marciwood said. #smcvtroadtrip”Marci Wood
Getting some food in our systems helped....
Dinner stop on the #smcvtroadtrip ! (@ Flying Goose Brew Pub) http://4sq.com/RczdP0Matt Connolly
I had some awesome butternut squash ravioli with a maple sauce and scallops. I highly recommend the Flying Goose Brew Pub.
RT @Hall_Gabbi: 9 exits until @saintmichaels means 45 miles of highway. #smcvtroadtrip @VermontProblemsVermontProblems
We made it back to SMC around 10:15 pm and I then ran over to Liz's place to go over our potential senior seminar topics. We have our one-on-one meetings with Hyde and Sultze this week to talk about what we will be writing our book on!
