It has been approximately forever since I last blogged, so I thought I’d give a quick life update. Life has been crazy over the past month and a half. In one day, I had all four wisdom teeth removed, found out I received the State of North Dakota Student Employee of the Year Award, and… Continue reading Life Update
As I am wrapping up the end of my second and final year in my master’s program, I have also just wrapped up my first professional job search. I have learned a lot through the process and have seen the good and the bad. This is the first of a series of posts about my… Continue reading The #SASearch Part 1: When things go wrong
For being a profession that works to break down the stereotypes surrounding any number of things, it’s interesting that we stereotype our own professional associations. When I first began my journey as an #SAGrad, I tried to learn as much as possible about the world of student affairs.

This year, I have had the good fortune to be selected as the University of North… Continue reading NASPA GAP Intern Recap
The winter semester is now in full swing, and with that comes the job search. I began my job search casually, I might call it, in December. I started putting together a list of schools I am particularly interested in so I can check out their HR websites on a semi-regular basis. Since I am… Continue reading The Job Search Part 1
Anyone who has ever watched a movie about college probably has a basic understanding of sorority recruitment. Women go to different houses to find their best fit. They receive their bid and the rest is history. But there is another form of recruitment, the lesser known form. Continuous Open Recruitment (COR).
Tomorrow is the first day of my last semester of graduate school. This is crazy! The two years of graduate school fly by faster than I could have imagined. This also marks the time to amp up the intensity on my job search process. As I scour my daily e-mailed list from Higher Ed Jobs,… Continue reading Exceptional UND
