This position has allowed me to become well versed in university and housing policy and I am well trained in how to perform not only the administrative tasks required by this position, but also how to handle conduct reporting and sensitive situations regarding students. Due to my experience as a Community Assistant, I am confident in my abilities to perform the duties that the office of Conferences & Event Services will require of me, if selected for this position.

During my time in this position I developed leadership programming for Clarion University and coordinated and planned events such as the Mary Walter Speaker Series. During my time working with the Mary Walter Speaker Series, we focused on mental health and the dispelling of mental health stigmas.

Stephanie Thompson is the Executive Principal of Farragut High School. When she first started at Farragut High School, she the parents and community stated that they never knew what was going on in the school. Mrs. Thompson’s first priority was to establish ways to connect with the school community. She started by welcoming staff, students and parents every morning not only at the doorway but in the parking lot as well by directing traffic. Some days Stephanie would ask the students about their family or have short conversations about their interests. Her goal was to know her community at a deeper level than what was expected of her.

My interview with the Director of Special services provided me with a unique viewpoint related to our student learning problem, both from the perspective of current district-wide policies and their influence on the current state of things and potential improvement plans, and the reasons that the CSI department is encountering difficulties.

This year, my field placement is at the Family Service Bureau of Newark (FSB). This agency offers behavioral and mental health services to individuals, couples and families. FSB is one of the branches of an umbrella organization called New Community Corporation (NCC). In 1967, Newark’s central ward went through a series of civil disorders, thus labeling Newark as one of the most hopeless cities in the nation. Many neighborhoods were left in ruins, but there was a strong desire to rebuild the city. Father Linder and a group of associates decided to make a vision happen, thus founding the NCC in 1968. Disorder, poverty, and despair in Newark’s Central Ward gave birth to the NCC, known today as one of the largest and most comprehensive community

Conducting the two interviews in the Chicago Lawn area, it broadens my knowledge about this area and its history. These interviews also took me back to when I was growing up and heard about the racism that took place in this area. However, on a positive note, I enjoyed meeting these new people. While interviewing Theresa McKinney it was very enlightening on how she was very friendly and welcoming. Theresa and I had a short conversation about her life before the recording took place. Theresa spoke about how she had been on drugs most of her adult years. She stated she was around twenty-six when she spirals out on drugs. Theresa has four children all young men now and they were care for by her sisters. Theresa stated that she was raped outside

Jeanne Becker has been the secretary at Saint Mary’s Central High School for as long as anyone can remember. She is the backbone of our entire school system. By keeping us all on track with the announcements, our messages in the office, and tardy slips, Jeanne is the crucial piece in maintaining the standard of excellence that St. Mary’s is known for. In other words, our school could not function properly without Jeanne. However, many students do not fully understand nor appreciate all that Jeanne does for those who attend St. Mary’s High School. I spoke with Jeanne to get her take on what she does for the school and why she enjoys it so much. During this interview she stated, “being the secretary for our school is a job that involves a lot

On March 2, 2016, I had a phone interview with Ms. Julie Kincaid, the Director of Campus Life (Northern Campuses). I started at Florida Atlantic University in the fall of 2015, where I happened to meet her. I have always loved the way Ms. Kincaid present herself and she is very motivating to her fellow students. Ms. Kincaid also told me that the reason why she chose higher education, is because she loves to motivate, encourage, and help students to achieve their goals. During the interview, Ms. Kincaid explained to me that, a leader is one who inspires and help others in order to build themselves. She also mentioned that, leadership is a very broad concept that is about helping others achieve their goals and dreams and leading by example. As a leader, one has to set clear expectations and one of the most important characteristics is integrity and strength of character. I also explained to Ms. Kincaid that in class, we discussed that leadership and integrity and both go hand in hand. Integrity is one of the main attributes of a great leader. It is a concept of consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, expectations and outcomes. It implies a deep commitment to do the right thing for the right reason, regardless of the circumstances.

I chose to do my interview in the field office and not over the phone. Feeling that by doing this interview in person I would receive more of a connection. I walk into work early this morning so I can interview Doug Ivie before everyone else comes into the office. When I arrive Doug is already here and working on programming tank level sensors. This week Doug is in the San Angelo office and not in the Denver, Colorado office where he is normally located. He comes to the San Angelo office every two weeks, staying one week at a time. So I take my lunch to the fridge and walk back to grab my computer so I can take notes and read him the questions I’ve prepared.

How are you all doing? I was very excited when I heard about your interest in St.Paul! Hopefully I’ll be able to satisfy your curiosity.

The hospital sounds like a terrifying place to work in; people, who work in the medical field, undergo handling such a stressful environment. You have people dying or ill, relying on you to help discover the problem. My mother, Leah Onod, is the person who I believe can manage this kind of work; she believes that if you don’t like the job you’re doing then don’t do it. My interview with her gives her personal experience and view on what it’s like to work in the hospital as a technologist; she would love to hand her knowledge to others, who are interested in this stressful but awarding environment.
