Internship Process

Scholars, today Stephen Wu and Alice Li, organized an event for STEM EE Scholars regarding the internship process. Although, it was a first-year scholars’ event, I believe this event would have been great for second-year scholar, as well. If you would like to access the presentation, this is the link.

Second-year scholars, I hope to see you more often in future events. I think you can really learn a lot from the events and get to know your mentees better.

Navigating the Internship Application Process

Chimes Junior Class Honorary

Second-year scholars, applications will be opened on November 28th to apply Chimes Junior Class Honorary. If you have questions, please feel free to contact Alex Lacey.77 or Sky Wong.3175. If interested, Nathalie Milbrandt.3, third-year scholar, can provide you with her personal experience with this organization.

Chimes Junior Class Honorary is an honorary specifically for third year students Established in the spring of 1918 at The Ohio State University. The founders, Harriet Day and Helen Dustman wanted to create an organization based on the three pillars: scholarship, leadership and service. These two women, along with six others were the first members of this all-female honorary. During one of their initial meetings, the founders heard the Orton Hall chimes ringing throughout and selected the name Chimes for this organization.

Useful Apps

Scholars, we have created a page that lists mobile apps under the Resources’ Menu. We hope that these apps will  enhance your college career and professional network. As we move forward, we will continue to add more helpful apps. If you know of great apps, let Courtney Campbell.1807 or Jorge-Eduardo know about them. Last week, Liam Stalker, informed us about the app, Pocket Points. You earn points by not using your phone in class and by recommending people to use the app (Liam’s code is C96ap).

Maryland Football Watch / Tailgate Party

brutusEnjoy an afternoon watching the Buckeyes play against Maryland, on SaturdayNovember 12th from 3:00pm-7:30pm. There will also be crafts, face painting, and board games. Pizza and refreshments will be provided for students that RSVP. Please RSVP to let us know you are attending. We need to know you are attending as soon as possible.

Note: I am extremely proud to work with all of you from First-Year to Third-Year Scholars. I want to continue feeling proud and perceive you as the professional that you are. For this to continue, I want to ask for your commitment in regards to event attendance. To avoid underestimating materials/food or being profligate consumers, it is important that you RSVP to certain events, and attend. Event coordinators will keep track of students that lack this professionalism.

Why is having a LinkedIn profile so important?

First-Year Scholars, this week during class, we will be talking about digital tools. We will also be creating a LinkedIn account in class and discussing the importance of having an account. Some STEM fields, tend to utilize this tool more than others. Nonetheless, it is important to enhance your professional-online presence, regardless of your field.

Second– and Third-Year Scholars, I encourage you to create an account too. I will be creating a STEM EE Scholars’ LinkedIn profile, soon.
