Leading Projects



As a Career Development Intern, I have hosted events and attended them. As of this week I have officially planned one and gained some experience in project management along with my fellow interns.

In order to market the Career Development Center to Freshmen and Sophomores who are probably not familiar with all the things the Career Center can do for them, we came up with a promotional event to be held in Campion during free period.

Participants would spin a wheel (think wheel of fortune) and have the option of winning candy, a giftcard to Cosi or Starbucks, or a goldfish complete with a fishbowl, fish food, and a pamphlet on how to care for it.

My co-interns and I spent three weeks planning the event and marketing it (making flyers, sending emails, posting announcements) and then set everything up and hosted it the day of the event. It was good experience in balancing independent/group projects and our event was very successful.
