Do you want to increase your chances of being competitive in your career field after graduation? Do you want to increase your chances of starting with a higher salary? You should definitely consider gaining some hands-on experience during your undergrad!
My mission is to empower students to be active and responsible owners of their hands-on experiences throughout their academic careers.
I aim to accomplish this in the following ways:
- create a safe space of acceptance, inclusion, and empathy for every student
- support students with career exploration
- advise, advocate, and educate students on all of the steps involved in obtaining hands-on experience through an internship, directed research, or preceptorship
- educate, and encourage students to model the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) 8 Career Competencies that are sought after by employers recruiting college grads. They are Career & Self Development, Critical Thinking, Communication, Equity & Inclusion, Leadership, Professionalism, Teamwork, and Technology.
- act as a mentor for students throughout their academic careers
As the Experiential Learning Coordinator, I strive to create and foster a positive working relationship with each student meeting you where you are. Through this collaboration I encourage students to take a leadership role in their career goals.
While I am available to assist students, it is the students' responsibility to:
- make appointments with me
- search their areas of interest
- seek out the appropriate contact
- apply for your hands-on experience
- complete all the necessary and required documents
- interview for positions
- turn in your work plan
- show up to your scheduled shift every day
- display professionalism at all times
- complete all hours required to earn credits within the allotted time frame
- complete and submit all assignments in any course you are enrolled in associated with their internship, directed research, or preceptorship
