Get Involved!
By now, you may have found your niche on campus within a student
organization or residence hall, but maybe not. While some students find a
perfect match on the first try when applying for student organizations, many
students are faced with another round of applications and interviews before
they find the right match. This can be a stressful and even disappointing
process. While it may be easy to become discouraged in this process, please
know that there is an involvement opportunity out there – you just have to
be persistent in seeking it out. So, what do you do if you got turned down
from that first application process (or even the second or third process)?
Or what if the organization that you were accepted into has not been a great
fit for you? Try and try again! Check out the Department of Student
Activities' "Get
Involved" resources online or get personalized help in
the Center for Student Involvement within the Department of Student
Activities, Koldus Student Services Building, 458-3518. Also check out
involvement opportunities offered through the following areas:
ATMentors
There are many reasons to find a mentor that can range from getting course
advice to working out a personal crisis. No matter what the issue is,
whether good or bad, ATMentors are always there to listen. To view a longer,
more comprehensive, list of possible topics that students talk to mentors
about click
here. ATMentors is a mentorship program
designed to operate on "your own terms." You and your chosen mentor can
determine how often you meet, whether you have set meetings, or if you just
drop in from time to time. You get out of the relationship what you put into
it.
