Meeting Notes

Dimple Singh represents AMP, ASWC, work study, and a practicum with Phillips Edison. Bryan Craven is the president of the A-Team (Student Alumni Relations Committee)

Is the experience important?

Yes. We learn to apply the academic skills to life skills. You don't understand the quality of the extracurricular learning experience until you've been through it and can quantify those life skills. A recent campus speaker said that recruiters these days have moved from looking for graduates with knowledge, to those who can prove what they know, what they can do , and what they will do as employees.

Getting credit for the life skills as part of our degree is attractive.

An obstacle to getting involved is the lack of awareness among students as a whole.

The facilitators continue to learn with the students. We should have our goals outlined ahead of time and guide students into understand those goals and being able to use their fulfillment in resumes, job interviews, future employment.
