"If you are looking for experience in the non-profit world, it's not too late to find a summer internship! Because social service and non-profit organizations hire on an RESOURCE OF THE WEEK
Do you have a handful of burning questions that you need answered? Have you had trouble fitting in time to attend informative CEL workshops throughout the school year? If your busy schedule keeps you moving, the CEL now has helpful information available for you on our website via our video workshop series. The workshops linked below were created by CEL staff members in order to give you just-in-time information tailored to move your job or internship search forward. Now you can find answers to questions you may have about your resume, internship opportunities, graduate school, or taking a gap year all in the comfort of your own room.
SARAH MEYER Tell us a little bit about experiential learning opportunities you've pursued while at St. Olaf. How have these experiences shaped your career goals? What are your post-graduate plans? How has the CEL helped you along the way?
If the CEL had a cheek I would kiss it. I would not be going to graduate school next year were it not for the CEL. It was work at camp, done through the Lilly grant, that first introduced me to my vocation and later put me to work alongside occupational therapists. Further experiences have allowed me to explore my area of interest not only outside the classroom but through the classroom. When it came down to applying to grad school, the resources, coaching, and simple encouragement that I received there gave me the how-to and the gumption to pursue the application process.
