Student Leadership Board

One of my projects for my internship is to create a student advisory board called the Student Leadership Board (SLB). This past weekend, the applications were due and we received eight applications. This may not seem like a lot, but the day before they were due, there was only one application submitted. I was very worried that we would only have one application. SLB was created to provide an opportunity for students in TRIO to share ideas with TRIO staff and to gain student input about services and programs. This week, I reviewed the essays submitted and it was tough to rate them. There were many good applicants. I will not be able to interview the applicants because my work schedule conflicts with the scheduled interview times. I wish I was able to be there for the interviews.

I am really happy that one of my projects is more than halfway completed and I am witnessing the results of my work. I created the application using Google Form and advertised this opportunity to the students. I hope the board is effective and cannot wait to choose the finalists.
