College Corps participant credits program with career experience, networking and an education award

A College Corps participant described how nearly three years in the program helped her gain professional experience, network and earn an education award.

The participant said she is pursuing a bachelor of science in psychology with a minor in human resources and organizational behavior and that College Corps was "a huge stepping stone." She said the program ‘‘eventually got me to the point where I was able to network, still get that education award, and be able to land myself in positions where I can get into experience with psychologists and caseworkers.’’ (Presenter)

The participant urged students who are unsure about majors, want to meet people, or want to give back to the community to consider joining College Corps, saying the experience can be added to a resume even if the individual decides it is not the right fit. She described the program as offering both community connections and on-campus networking opportunities that can help with future job searches.

There was no formal action recorded in the transcript and no mention of votes, motions, or sponsoring agencies beyond the participant's references to the College Corps program. The remarks are a first-person account of one participant’s experience rather than an evaluation or official program report.
