This morning I had a chance to meet with the Lutheran World Relief's Director of Social Media! Rev. Dan Ruth is the director, and he is based right here in the Twin Cities at the Minneapolis office of LWR. We chatted about a number of things over coffee/hot chocolate (those of you who know me, know that I was the one drinking the hot chocolate) at Dunn Brothers. It was a great way to pass an hour this morning while the snow came down in buckets.
To those of you not here in the Frozen Tundra, we had nearly gotten rid of our entire snowpack until last night/today, where we got about 8-10 new inches of snow. The ground is all nice and cleanly white again, so much for seeing the grass. hahaha
Anyway, our conversation covered how Dan got to where he is, and what he does. He was formally a student at St. Olaf, and Luther Seminary. It was an interesting conversation, not just given Dan's position's relevance for our class on Media Culture, it was a great first conversation of many between the two of us hopefully. Dan will be a good contact to maintain, but also a great conversation partner as I explore and develop my topic for my MA Thesis this coming year, and hope to some day work in the NGO/Non-profit field.
