Hey everyone! I hope you all had an awesome winter break.<\/p>\nHey everyone! I hope you all had an awesome winter break.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s January and I\u2019m already getting started on my last semester at BU. Really though, every time I look at a calendar and see that it\u2019s 2012, I get a little confused. Time really does fly by!<\/p>\n
I recently decided to finish up my time at BU by going back to work at a place that has had a huge impact on me throughout the past four years. I\u2019m talking of course about Boston University Orientation! I first started working there as a Program Advisor the summer after my freshman year and had an absolutely amazing time. Since then, I\u2019ve worked in the office as an academic year Program Advisor and now I\u2019m back as a Coordinator of Programs.<\/p>\n
Not only have I met a ton of cool people through Orientation, but I\u2019ve also learned a lot more about BU and what it has to offer\u2026 all while getting paid. (For everyone dreading finding an unpaid internship this summer, listen up!)<\/p>\n
Each spring, Orientation and the Community Service Center (CSC) hire Program Advisors, Student Advisors, Community Advisors, FYSOP Coordinators, and CSC Program Assistants to work all summer long. As a Program Advisor in the summer of 2009, my main responsibilities were to help the parents of incoming freshman and transfer students learn about BU\u2019s academic and social programs and also to introduce them to the city the Boston.<\/p>\n
Whether you want to help parents (like I did) or you want to welcome new students to BU through Orientation or FYSOP, there is an opportunity for you at Orientation or the CSC.\u00a0 Check out our website bu.edu\/orientation<\/a> for more info on specific jobs!<\/p>\n Now, I know you may be thinking, \u2018Shouldn\u2019t I be getting COM related internship this summer?\u2019 Sure, you totally can. I\u2019ve had three great journalism internships since being in college, and I wouldn\u2019t trade them for anything, but I will tell you that working for Orientation was an equally rewarding experience. I gained incredibly valuable communication and public speaking skills, networked with BU administrators and parents, and developed as a leader.<\/p>\n Also, working for Orientation or the CSC is just simply fun. You get to hang out with people from all over campus that you may have never otherwise met, and you get to stay in Boston for the summer (for free\u2026housing is paid for)!<\/p>\n We are now currently accepting applications for Summer 2012 Leadership positions, so again totally check out bu.edu\/orientation<\/a> or bu.edu\/csc<\/a> for more information about some of the best summer jobs on campus. The application deadline is on Wednesday January 25th<\/sup>, though, so if you\u2019re interested, get going!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey everyone!
