校友焦点:萨拉(休斯)塔夫林格83' and 澳门足球博彩官方网址 Work-Study 学生

你对学生有什么建议?

Time spent at Vincennes University is a great time to develop your future.  Don’t party too much or focus on growing up too fast.  澳门足球博彩官方网址 is a great opportunity for students from a small school to develop a solid foundation while being in a comfortable community.  I graduated from a class of 100 students and came to 澳门足球博彩官方网址 to major in Broadcasting.  My high school did not have the resources to have a full recording studio like those that some of my fellow classmates attended.  没关系.  You might not have all of tools w在这里 you started, but that is what makes 澳门足球博彩官方网址 great. It helps you to catch up and eventually excel.  澳门足球博彩官方网址的广播节目是一流的.  I went from Vincennes University to Indiana State, and I was so prepared for the transition.  When I got t在这里, I felt like I had learned so much during my time at 澳门足球博彩官方网址.  Many of the students in my classes were just becoming familiar with the studio.  I was working at stations in my free time because I had already gained the exposure through my work at Vincennes.

How did you become a work study, and how did it aid you 作为一名学生?

My mom helped me find local scholarships to offset the cost of my education.  I had more free time than I had anticipated and was looking for something productive that I could do within the campus.  Brenda Thompson shared that t在这里 was an opening in the Student Activities Office.  Brenda and Donna Clinkenbeard were amazing, and work study was a great opportunity 作为一名学生.  You made a great income, and you were able to become really involved and connected.  It allowed me to connect with so many people, and most importantly to have fun.  I was able to work on projects like concerts or the Miss 澳门足球博彩官方网址 Competition.  It felt really good to see the school activities come together and to be able to say that you were a real part of making it happen.

Work Study prepared us to get out into the world!

One of my favorite projects was being a part of coordinating the Miss 澳门足球博彩官方网址 competition.  Brenda was so organized and made the projects fun for the students.  它是在P.E. 很复杂，澳门足球博彩官方网址还带着收音机.  She would call us and direct us to the area that we were most needed.  We were able to see how the competition functioned from behind the curtains.  有很多人参与其中.  She really allowed us to take the competition as far as we were able to go with our talents.  She supported us and empowered us to make our own mark.  Being a work study was a huge part of the 澳门足球博彩官方网址 experience.  作为一项工作研究, 你有更多的乐趣, 认识更多的人, and it prepared you to get out into the work world.

目前澳门足球博彩官方网址基金会工作学习, 摩根米勒, shares similar feelings of involvement and connection.

I heard about the 澳门足球博彩官方网址 Foundation from Elaina Boston who was returning for her second year as a work study.  I did not realize until I began my work how many events the 澳门足球博彩官方网址 Foundation holds and the scale to which it is able to help students.  Having a job on campus really helped ease my financial path, 这样我就能在课堂上做文章了, 更多地参与校园活动.  我玩得很开心!   The environment was remarkable, and I loved the 澳门足球博彩官方网址 Foundation staff.  It was a great way to be involved at 澳门足球博彩官方网址 as I was able to attend fun events while learning new ways that I, 作为一名学生, could help to advance the goals of the university.

我正在为我的未来培养技能!

I am really looking forward to my second year 作为一名学生 worker.  I learned that everyone in the office has a different role (alumni, 发展, 金融, advancement) and I was able to get an inside view of how they all come together to help the office move forward as a team.  I've become so much more comfortable talking to a variety of people as the Foundation works with students, 校友及捐款人.  As an Education major, I plan to continue to study Early Childhood Development.  It is going to be important for me to not only be able to communicate with the students, but also parents and guardians from different backgrounds and walks of life.  I worked with students for two years in high school, but the foundation has broadened my ability to quickly adjust as it has exposed me to so many more people than a regular office position.  I believe my experiences will benefit me as an educator as I will have more flexibility and be more comfortable in the ways that I work with families.
