Zach was not offered the instructor position. He was one of the last two candidates, and it went to his friend, John. John has a masters in History and also finishing up his masters in Computer Science. In fact, they are in a number of classes together and both respect each other a great deal.
The door wasn’t slammed in his face, but it is closed for now. We are very disappointed, but he still feels like he made a lot of valuable connections. I guess we are back to the original plan. They still want him as a Graduate Teacher for the class he has been in charge of for the last few semesters. In fact, they are probably going to move the class to accommodate Zach so he can take a class that currently conflicts with the class they want him to teach.
Zach is actually dealing better with the news than I am at this point. Pregnancy is probably not helping much though.
I’m sorry mama :(. It seemed like such a sure thing for you guys! I’ll keep my fingers crossed and prayers going your way for a better solution.
I’m so sorry jenniferZ, I was so hoping Zach would get the instructor position. Hugs from SF.
Argh! What a letdown. I’ll keep ypu guys in my prayers, of course.
