Other Service to the University
Student Organizations | Other Service
a. Student organizations and related services
I coordinated and supervised Instructional Technology Master’s students to
develop demonstration materials for Chancellor DePaolo’s Installation events.
Our program had two booths for demonstration (one with Graduate Programs and
another with ITSD) (Spring 2004).
I participated in development of the live video “Eye on UNCW.” The video was
developed by ITSD to provide a summary of UNCW programs and activities (Fall
2002).
I participated in one-day meeting that was organized by campus Career Service.
A number of potential internship employers were invited to meet and discuss
internship opportunities for UNCW students. I participated in the panel discussion,
presented the Instructional Technology Master’s Program, and responded to employers’
questions (Spring 2004).
Since the 1999-2000 academic year, I have visited regularly, and met with various
companies and educational settings to explore possible internship and job opportunities
for our instructional technology master’s students. I have now established academic
relationships with about 10 different internship sites.
Since Fall 1999, as the graduate coordinator for the Instructional Technology
Master’s Program, I have taken the responsibility of presenting the program
in schools, businesses and also professional organizations to help with recruiting
students.
I have been instrumental in helping both graduate and undergraduate students
whom I advise in developing professional resumes and strategies for pursuing
job opportunities (see supporting documents, Binder # 1). I have also provided
assistance to those students who needed my support as an advisor and/or a reference.
My support usually ranges from writing recommendation letters to serving as
a reference for their job applications. In many cases, I have also called school
systems or other organizations to find out about job opportunities and job fairs
to help my advisees in their career development.
