Communication Skills

Workshop Evaluation
As a Peer Advisor at the UW - River Falls Career Services office, I have enhanced my public speaking skills by presenting workshops to students about career related topics. Here is an evaluation that was completed by a student after attending a workshop that I presented on interviewing techniques.

Client Intake Form
In addition to giving presentations to large groups, I also worked one-on-one with clients as a Peer Advisor. I met with students, alumni and community members to help them with resumes, cover letters, portfolios, mock interviews and job searching.

Tip 'N' Treat
Tip 'N' Treat is an event put on by the Personal and Professional Development Center to inform the students on campus about the services that we provide. I cooperated with two other Peer Advisors to plan and prepare for the event. We used our creativity to come up with tips to attach to the candy that we handed out to students. I also used my written communication skills to make flyers to post around campus.

Bookmarks
One of my projects as a Peer Advisor was to research the different majors offered at UW-River Falls. After completing the research I created bookmarks to inform students of the occupational opportunities available with certain majors, skills and abilities that are useful for that major, and ways to enhance skills for that major. These bookmarks are available to the students on campus as well as prospective UW-River Falls students.

ATA Agenda
I served as Secretary in 2002 for the Alpha Mu chapter of Alpha Tau Alpha at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls . As secretary I recorded the minutes of each meeting and then typed them and e-mailed them to each of the members. I also was responsible for creating the agenda for each meeting. Below is one of the agendas that I created.
