Major: Corporate Communications and
Marketing
Campus jobs: Front desk/fitness center
attendant at the Recreation Center;
Admissions tour guide; assistant for
the Institute of Management Studies;
Business Marketing teacher’s assistant
What are the day-to-day responsibilities of
your admissions job?
The biggest responsibility I have is
giving tours to prospective students and
their families. It’s a very important task.
You are required to be an ambassador
for the College. A campus tour could
make or break a student’s decision to
attend the College. Tours are given by
appointment but also on a walk-in basis;
therefore, students must always be
prepared to give a tour. Aside from giving
tours, the admissions staff is responsible
for sending out all mass mailings to
prospective students. We make packets
for incoming students and fill information
requests.
Major: Psychology
Off-campus jobs: Information services;
youth coordinator, James V. Brown
Library, Williamsport
What are your responsibilities as youth
coordinator at the library?
I run two teen programs. During video
game night, we play and learn about
video games through interaction from
multiple channels. The second program
is Graphic Novel Club, where students
explore the world of comics and apply
concepts and themes to reality. We also
learn the makeup of graphic novels and
prove that they are more than pictures
with words. We are working on making
our own mini graphic novels.
What sort of advantages/benefits have you
seen from your employment?
The biggest advantage is knowing
that I am providing a service to the
community. The James V. Brown Library
isn’t your typical library; it’s more like
a small café with lots of books. There
are programs available for persons of all
ages. It really does a service and I am a
part of that.
Major: Biology with an English
Literature minor
Campus jobs: Admissions tour guide;
Academic Resource Center tutor;
“Mouse House” lab research assistant
for the psychology department; Snowden
Library’s Collection Management
Services
What do you hope to say after graduation
in regards to your campus employment?
I would like to look back and
remember some of the really cool and
fun things I did while working, not
just think of my jobs as a means to get
cash. Helping out ‘behind-the-scenes’
for library events like ‘Snowden til 2,’
working open houses, and getting hands-
on research in the mouse house are all
valuable and dear memories for me. All
of my jobs will make good references in
that they each show that I have acquired
valuable skills. The library has taught me
organization and planning. Being a tour
guide helps me relate to many different
types of people and to market effectively,
and the mouse house has given me new
research skills and biological knowledge
useful for when I apply to veterinary
school.
