upcoming info sessions for staff

We will have two information sessions as the summer wraps up and our time together comes to an end. The first...

Wednesday August 3rd* at 11:30AM

So you want to be a professional OL: Pursuing Student Affairs as a career path

Have you ever worked an orientation session or attended a training and thought, "This must be a pretty cool job to do full time"? It is! Almost all of the NSO graduate staff members are getting their masters in student affairs in higher education, and all the professional staff that work for Student Life have chosen student affairs as a career path. It isn't something you can "major in" as an undergraduate student, so hundreds enter the field because they had a really good experience as a student leader and a mentor or supervisor advised them on how to pursue student affairs as a career. 

Many of our staff members have identified and interest or curiousity in student affairs, so we will be holding an informational session for those interested. We will cover...

• The ideal timeline to consider when applying to graduate schools
• Websites to check out to find out more information and to find out about graduate programs in the area and around the nation
• "Nuts and Bolts" information about the graduate school application process including information on how to get your graduate school paid for
• Experiences or internships to consider as an undergraduate for those that are serious about pursuing graduate school
• The graduate staff will be there to answer any questions about their experiences

*This date has changed to 8/3, it was originally announced as scheduled for 7/27 and has moved to 8/3


And the second....

 

Wednesday August 10th 11am

Are you ready for ROUND 2?: Returning to NSO 

With such a young staff we hope to see plenty of returners in our 2012 student staff. Returning staff members are invaluable to our program. We will cover...

• Changes to the staff experience ("in the works" for 2012)
• Returner Job Descriptions
• OTL Job Descriptions
• Time committment

...and we will answer any questions you have about retunring to staff. Our hope is to have applications available at this info session.
