PROJECT

OVERVIEW

My project allowed me to continue my recruitment work for Southern Utah University over the three sessions of Summer Semester. I was offered a job to work in the Welcome Center, which is the main recruitment office on campus. The job was only offered to three SUU students and I was able to be one of them. While working at the Welcome Center, I was able to volunteer my time and work with the Summer Recruiting Staff which is a bit different than during the school year. Working with this staff gave me the opportunity to give campus tours, answer information requests, and interact with any prospective students that stepped foot on campus for any special event such as: Summer Games, Governor's Honors Academy, etc.

I took pictures thoughout my entire Project. You can scroll through them to the left. The pictures are of me throughout my entire experience at different events and things I got to do. (I was only able to include one picture from a tour since those are a bit harder to take without ruining the overall feel of campus.)

 

The pictures include: Working in the Welcome Center, a blind plank walk leadership training with North Sevier High School, working on strenght and weaknesses with Uintah High School, presenting to students with our brochures, working a special event (SUMA Grand Opening).
