Earlier last year, I made an offer to volunteer in the WIU Office of Study Abroad this spring semester. To my surprise, they offered me an internship!
Each week I spend Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and Friday afternoons, helping in the office and learning about the study abroad process from the inside. So far I have sat in on a preadvising appointment, and started beta-testing a new software system. I've been having a really good time!
Also, I have recently been promoted to President of Western's Ambassadors for Study Abroad! Hopefully we can grow the organization and further strengthen the study abroad promotion initiatives on our campus before year's end.
These experiences will certainly lend me some experience in the ways of study abroad student advising, and offer me some résumé padding for my grad school apps!
Hooray for international education!
What have you all been doing since the semester began? Let me know in the comments!
À bientôt!
