I hope that you all doing well and enjoying the first days of summers. I certainly am enjoying the first few days of summer as it giving me the chance to do more outside and make the most of the sun.
While enjoying the warm Boston summer evenings, the past couple of weeks has been really engaging as I am multitasking projects I am undertaking prior to the end of my placement.
One of the main projects I have been working on is the complete design and creation of a workshop for students returning from a global experience. The workshop will focus on how they 'sell, share and network' around their global experience, no matter what the nature of their experience was Dialogue of Civilization, Global Co-op or Study Abroad. I have been working on creating the strategy and content of the workshop, including the research, the agenda, the structure and the content of this essential workshop for students returning from a global experience. Designing and creating the workshop is an opportunity for me to not only leave something concrete behind me, here at Northeastern but to further expand and improve my knowledge of career development and global experiences networking, sharing and selling. It will also be a good transition for me as I will be moving to the role of President of the Glasgow School for Business and Society - International Business and Society Network. This workshop design is giving me the opportunity to put into action all I have been learning over the past 11 months and to collaborate with differents department on campus. I am looking forward to seeing pictures and having some feedback about the workshop as I will no longer be in Boston when the workshop will be run for the first time.
This project is for me a great opportunity to use my creative and innovative skills, but further identify myself how I will, in the short-term future, be able to sell, share & network my experience at Northeastern.
I further had the chance to take part in the annual employer conference on campus this week. Career Services organized a day-long event "9th Annual Employer-Partner Conference: Building Networks, Customizing Learning and Accelerating Discovery" to thank employers for their collaboration with Northeastern University and for employing and engaging with the student body. I had the privilege to listen to Sean Gallagher and Dustin Clinard presentations and to take part in two different breakout sessions.
Overall the past couple of weeks, despite challenging due to the quantity of work, have influence my path here and are helping me to complete my year long at Northeastern University!
Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed and I will be back here really soon to share the last couple of weeks with you!
Love,
Alexandra
