The number one recommendation for those students entering and returning to college is to get involved! It may be scary at first. You may be the shy type like me; however, becoming involved in your school and your community will enable you to have unforgettable experiences throughout your college experience. One way to get involved is to become a CC. This is short for a community coordinator. This week I looked into what becoming a CC entailed. When I talked to my CC she gave me a link that I could look up to find out more on becoming a CC. The website said, "community coordinators provide leadership for an undergraduate residence hall floor community of primarily first and second year students". Some roles of a CC a completely voluntary work, while some work such as working at the desk, is paid work. This is definitely something I am looking into doing. I like the idea of the work it entails. CC's can input their ideas for community projects, and they are introduced to all different people. I would like a job on campus so I can have a little extra spending money for the weekends, but a full time, full commitment job is out of the question due to time restraints. If I work at the desk, or worked supervising a computer lab, I would be able to pick up as many or as little hours as I wish to have. It is not full commitment so if I decided I have a lot to do this week and I have a meet on the weekend which is limiting my time, that is fine! I simply chose to not work that week or only pick up a few hours.
Applying is simple. Online there is a webpage dedicated to aiding people looking into becoming a CC. It has all of the application requirements, and information you need. It is very user friendly. One way to better your chances of being employed or getting a job as a CC is by getting to know your own CC's. After all, they are the ones who will be hiring you. Good luck getting involved!
