- [00:00:04.030]So lastly, we're gonna talk about
- [00:00:05.750]getting involved on campus.
- [00:00:07.630]So I feel you might have some good points to talk about
- [00:00:11.160]because I feel like all of us kids
- [00:00:12.630]have been pretty involved on campus.
- [00:00:14.990]So what I did, was definitely never say no to things,
- [00:00:19.420]or at least say yes, as much as you can.
- [00:00:22.660]I got involved.
- [00:00:23.560]I'm on Student Advisory Board,
- [00:00:25.050]I'm a student ambassador.
- [00:00:26.560]And then I'm a part of a few different clubs as well.
- [00:00:29.200]So just like getting out there,
- [00:00:31.550]is so important just to meeting people
- [00:00:33.740]can make all the difference.
- [00:00:35.200]So yeah, just going to those club meetings,
- [00:00:37.188]they want you to come.
- [00:00:38.440]So there are a lot of fun to attend.
- [00:00:40.820]And then there's also a lot of cool opportunities with that,
- [00:00:43.650]because networking you'll have at those club meetings,
- [00:00:47.060]a lot of people in the professional world come.
- [00:00:49.550]And so that's really great for networking.
- [00:00:51.680]And then being aware of what is going on
- [00:00:54.890]on campus and at your particular college is so important.
- [00:00:58.640]My mom follows Instagram like we mentioned earlier,
- [00:01:01.770]but she would tell me things that were going on and be like,
- [00:01:04.227]"Okay, so I got to go do this, this application is out."
- [00:01:09.130]Follow your colleges on Instagram.
- [00:01:12.580]They keep you updated on everything.
- [00:01:14.680]And then look at your emails.
- [00:01:16.530]Your emails also look at them all the time.
- [00:01:19.770]Emails.
- [00:01:21.310]They have so many opportunities in there about
- [00:01:24.510]internships, jobs, activities going on.
- [00:01:28.910]So definitely look at those, pay attention,
- [00:01:31.930]talk to your professors.
- [00:01:33.830]Yeah, I think that's a big one.
- [00:01:35.440]I think so many kids are intimidated by that.
- [00:01:38.350]And I feel like, those professors want you
- [00:01:41.090]to come in and see them and they want to get to know you.
- [00:01:44.240]Oh yeah.
- [00:01:45.073]And I had one professor who literally gave me a contact
- [00:01:48.730]for somebody who had worked with the chiefs.
- [00:01:50.930]And I was like, "Oh my God, this is a game changer."
- [00:01:53.330]I thought it was so cool.
- [00:01:55.040]Your professors can help you get involved.
- [00:01:57.720]So you have to say yes to as many things as you can,
- [00:02:00.510]go to those events, put yourself out there
- [00:02:02.530]as much as you can.
- [00:02:03.870]And even if you don't think you'll get a job
- [00:02:05.600]or you don't think you'll get that internship,
- [00:02:07.470]go ahead and apply for it,
- [00:02:08.570]because that's getting your name out there.
- [00:02:11.537]That's just some advice from our end
- [00:02:12.910]on getting involved.
- [00:02:14.320]Yeah, good luck.
