Connecting Aboriginal Students And Alumni

Janice Hill, Ed카지노 게임 컬렉션99, says the idea of a Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Aboriginal Alumni Chapter came from graduating students who were anticipating some separation anxiety from their close Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s community.  카지노 게임 컬렉션They didn카지노 게임 컬렉션t want to lose the connection with other Aboriginal students after graduation,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Janice, the director of the Four Directions Aboriginal Student Centre.

She knows the feeling. She카지노 게임 컬렉션s always wondered what happened to her classmates in the close-knit Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Aboriginal Education class of 1999.

On exploring the idea further with students, Janice realized that they also wanted to make connections with Aboriginal alumni, who could give them advice as they entered the work world. And this is something Janice wants to encourage. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I카지노 게임 컬렉션ve told students that when you have a Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s education, you can go anywhere in the world. Your education isn카지노 게임 컬렉션t just your diploma, it카지노 게임 컬렉션s your network. And you don카지노 게임 컬렉션t necessarily realize that when you카지노 게임 컬렉션re young.카지노 게임 컬렉션 

Janice tested the idea with Aboriginal alumni in her own network, and 33 of them have already signed up to be part of a new Aboriginal Alumni Chapter, connecting Aboriginal Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s grads and students in communities across North America. The aim is for 70 more alumni to sign up this spring.  Online networking and mentoring will be key components of the Chapter, with a few face-to-face events. Janice hopes to announce a Chapter launch event in Kingston later this year.  

While she sees professional networking and career advice to be a major driver to connect students past and present, Janice doesn카지노 게임 컬렉션t want the Chapter to be limited to job advice. She wants to involve alumni who can share their stories about their experiences as Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s students, which could help shape programming for Aboriginal students in future.  She also wants the Chapter to introduce students to alumni who may have taken detours in their career paths.  Janice herself never practised teaching after getting her B.Ed from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, but she still found her studies at MacArthur Hall to be invaluable in her career.  Her advice to students? 카지노 게임 컬렉션Don카지노 게임 컬렉션t limit yourself. You카지노 게임 컬렉션re learning lessons you may not even be aware of until you have the opportunity to draw upon your knowledge카지노 게임 컬렉션Be open to any opportunity, because you never know what카지노 게임 컬렉션s around the next corner.카지노 게임 컬렉션
