Take Advantage of Campus Organizations

Podcast Powered By Podbean

In the above podcast, I had the chance to interview two Lehigh University students. The students recently traveled to St. Louis with the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE). They discussed the overall experience, workshops they attended, and other activities they partook in. They were excited to experience another part of the country for a few days. The students were honored to represent the university and meet prospective employers. I won't give too many details because I want you to listen.

The testimonials in the podcast confirm why college students should take advantage of campus organizations. If an organization corresponds to your field of study, join it. It’s comprised of students with the same interests as you. As a member, you go on trips, attend workshops, and give your resume a boost. Employers love Active students, especially students who partake in activities that match with their major.

                                                                     

At various workshops, you can network with not only employers, but other individuals who have beneficial connections. The students I interviewed were presented the opportunity-of-a-lifetime; and are excited about the relationships they developed on the trip. Their statements in the podcast should motivate you to join something.
