Interships

In the last few weeks, I've received countless emails from friends and family asking "What are you doing this summer?" "Do you have an internship?", or "Where are you working?" Considering I have quite a busy schedule of schoolwork and activities, I had yet to think about what I was doing this summer back in early April, but quickly realized how active college students truly are today! With all the current competition for jobs and internships, it is extremely important that we take advantage of long summers, and even more so, get involved on campus for the next few years.

You may have just read that last paragraph and started hyperventilating a little, but there is more than enough time for you to find something you are passionate about, discover how to get involved with it and then start building your résumé! If you have no idea where to begin, try these tips:

1. Use your university resources, such as a message board or career center to look for different opportunities both on and off campus.
2. Narrow down the list of internships, trips, clubs, jobs, and so forth to ones that you are truly interested in, especially the ones pertain to your field of study.
3. Find out application deadlines and then complete any paperwork with plenty of time to spare!
4. When on interviews, dress professionally, be confident and trust that you are the best candidate for the job!
5. Know what to expect, As an intern, you probably won't be doing glamorous, substantive work; you’ll likely be making other people’s lives easier. So you may get stuck photocopying, filing, arranging meetings, or doing other menial tasks. But in exchange, you'll get exposure to the field and experience for your resume.
6. Gain trust early on, When you come in as an intern, you'll have to prove yourself in the work world. To show that you pay attention to detail, follow instructions, and care about quality, do a great job even when you're handed boring tasks. Eventually, someone may let you try something more interesting.
7. Pay attention to the office cultural, Observe how others in the office act, and mirror that. If employees modulate their voices when others are on the phone, modulate yours. If they’re compulsively on time for meetings, you should always be on time, too. These details may sound trivial, but they’ll help you stand out compared to other interns.
8. Focus: Don’t use social networking sites (unless it’s part of your job) or text with friends throughout the workday. You may be confident that it doesn’t affect your work, but experienced managers may feel confident that it does. And especially this early on, your manager's opinion matters.
9. In school, if you made a mistake on a test or paper, it only affected you. In many jobs, mistakes are much more serious. If you do make a mistake, make sure you handle it correctly. Don't try to cover it up or make excuses. Own up and fix it. Then tell your boss it won't happen again—and make sure it doesn't.
10. Learn from co-workers: Ask them about their own careers. How did they get into the field? What do they like about it? What do they find challenging? What advice do they have for you? Most people love to talk about themselves and will be flattered that you’re asking about their experiences. Best of all, it’s likely to make them want to help you.
11. “Thank you”: Talk to your manager about what you’re getting out of your internship, and thank her for giving you the opportunity to work there. We all love hearing the occasional expression of appreciation, so don't be shy about offering it. A simple expression of gratitude may even put you ahead of the pack.

Applying for jobs or internships isn't easy and can be extremely nerve wrecking, but remember: every candidate feels the same way. My hands were sweating for a half hour after I interviewed for a position as a Residential Advisor for next year! However, answering honestly and exhibiting passion will outshine clammy hands and give an employer no reason to choose anyone but you!

ASWOU, the Associated Students of Western Oregon University advocates for students, not only on a campus level, but at a state level as well. We devote our time, knowledge, and sometimes even our sanity, to all students from all walks of life. Why do I mention sanity? Because, to volunteer to be a student leader is to admit to being slightly insane! Think about it, what kind of person would look at a job description that mandates you to be at 6-10 meetings per week (that range from 2-10 hours in length), and then add in office hours and classes and says, "Hey, sign me up!", all for a salary that, when broken up into an hourly wage would be at a rate less than minimum wage (that is if they get paid at all)? NO SANE PERSON!!! The members of the ASWOU administration (which includes the Judicial, Legislative, and Executive branches) advocate for students on a daily basis because they care! They don't do it for the popularity (on any given day, someone on this campus is unhappy with someone in ASWOU because of something that was or wasn't done, or a decision that was made), and they certainly don't do it for the money. These student leaders are leaders because they care. They want to affect change. They want to help students so much that they are willing to work and go to classes all day, do homework all night, get 30 minutes of sleep, and be up in time to go lobby for students rights at the capitol the next morning. So if you want something to change, tell us! We are here for YOU. We are willing to give up our sanity for YOU, but we can't initiate change without you identifying the changes which need to be made. So call for change; tell us what you're thinking so that we can take it to university administration or even the capitol if that is where your concern needs to go. But we need you to tell us what you need. We could already be considered slightly insane because we took these positions willingly in the first place, you may as well take it the rest of the way and let us go completely crazy fighting for YOU!

ASWOU, going insane for students since 1939!

History

Brought to you by your Director of Multicultural student advocacy Martae' Neal

A little bit about myself; I have always been interested in Black culture and every since I was young my family made sure I knew about it as well. I’ve seen movies that talked about my black heritage from Africa to America. One of my favorite movies is ROOTS. Just this weekend I watch the whole series of  ROOTS. Roots is a movie that depicts on how African Americans ORIGINALLY lived in Africa as kings and queens and were free until they were kidnapped and abuse/raped/and chained into slavery. It was a very thought provoking movie with an intense storyline. To watch a movie about a country I live in...and knowing since birth freedom is innate privilege of me having,  surprises me on how that wasn't always true to people who look like me. Watching roots this time made me think differently about a lot of things that are going on in my life.. I question a lot of things this weekend.

I always knew that I came from a strong culture. But knowing the struggles and challenges of my people was horrifying to watch and made me so angry. Not only because it was wrong but because it was true at one point and time. And even though I live in a society that people don't see me as a slave, or a n*gg*r .. there still are individuals, clubs/groups and even  states that are a threat to me otherwise

Brought to you by your ASWOU J Board member Travis Meuwissen

"Maturity is the ability to control anger and settle differences without violence.

Maturity is patience.  It is the willingness to postpone immediate gratification in favor of the long-term gain.

Maturity is perseverance; the ability to sweat out a project or a situation in spite of heavy opposition and discouraging setbacks. 

Maturity is the capacity to have unpleasantness and frustration, discomfort and defeat without complaint or collapse.

Maturity is humility.  It is being big enough to say, “I was wrong.”  And, when right, the mature person need not experience the satisfaction of saying, “I told you so.”

Maturity is the ability to make a decision and stand by it.  The immature spend their lives exploring endless possibilities; then they do nothing.

Maturity means dependability, keeping one’s word, coming through in a crisis.  The immature are masters of the alibi.  They are confused and disorganized.  Their lives are maze of broken promises, former friends, unfinished business and good intentions that somehow never materialized.

Maturity is the art of living in peace with that which we cannot change, the courage to change that which can be changed, and the wisdom to know the difference."

What is ASWOU up too??

Brought to you by your ASWOU Vice President 

What is ASWOU up to this week???

The real question is what AREN’T we up to!!

While we are approaching the end of our second week of Winter Term we have been busy! Whether that be prepping for Lobby Days in the capital, working in the food bank or getting the word out about our next bike workshop!

This past weekend a few of us attended the Oregon Student Association Board Meeting that happens every month. At this meeting Oregon State University proposed a campaign that they will be doing on their campus.

“Wear the Square” is their campaign.

With the successes of registering 50,000 students to vote across the state we also want to make sure that we are holding our legislators accountable for affordable tuition. This campaign is to raise awareness as well as educate the student body at Oregon State University and on different campuses in Oregon that are in support of this campaign. WESTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY supports “Wear the Square” so look out for information regarding this campaign!! We will be handing out squares and hoping that students will support in spreading awareness on tuition costs and how they are in constant rise.  

WHY THE SQUARE??

In February 2012 in Quebec, Canada there was a threat in raising tuition in public university students by $100 per year for five years in order to balance the budget. To symbolize their protest, they wore RED fabric squares on their clothes and backpacks. The color RED is used in ledger books to show that your balance is negative, so the students chose RED to show that they were “squarely in the red”.

ALSO!!

ASWOU will be taking a group of students that would like to Lobby in the capital on issues like:

·         Tuition Equity

·         Tuition Affordability

·         Cultural Competency

·         Schools not Prisons

·         Student Parents

·         University Governance

IF THIS IS SOMETHING YOU ARE INTERESTED IN GOING WITH US TO THE CAPITAL PLEASE EMAIL aswoustate@mail.wou.edu

If you are interested in sharing your story with any of these priority issues we are also collecting stories.

From me to You

ASWOU this term is doing a lot more tabling upstairs in the Warner center. We are going to be trying to be more visible at Western. If you’re interested about any events this term or anything that ASWOU is doing please come to the info desk 11-1 Mondays and Wednesday’s.  Also elections for positions across campus are coming soon. If you’re interested in running for a position please contact someone in ASWOU or email aswoucampus@mail.wou.edu.

On another note if you’re thinking about joining ASWOU but aren't sure yet, let me tell you what ASWOU has done for me. I live off campus, and its Oregon… so not the funnest place in the world to be walking around especially in winter. ASWOU lets me have flexible office hours that I’m about to schedule around my class schedule. I also love having an office to go on campus where I feel that I belong whether I have to do work or I want to do homework, I like the feeling of walking in having a computer I can use and working in a place where I would call all other ASWOU members my friends. It has been a great experience as far as work goes, my social life goes and my future goes. So in the theme of this year’s ASWOU members YOLO.

Campus Food Bank

Hello everyone. 
Fall Term 2012 was the first term that the Campus Food Bank was in operation. The term has been a great success, the Food Bank has served over 85 students, had close to 40 volunteers and raised over 1,800 pounds of Food. There was great volunteer support and many of the Food Bank's events were a great success. In the past few weeks the partnership between Marion Polk Food Share and the Food Bank was formed which was an important step in being able to now get large volumes of food donations. The Food Bank looks forward to the future where it hopes to communicate with other local Food Banks to figure out ways they can help one another to help support members in the community that are in need of food assistance. The Food Bank already has hopes of expanding and one day becoming a Food Bank that will serve the entire community. I hope everyone had a nice holiday season. 

Kind Regards,
Colin Albi

We went to the Oregon Students of Color Coalition (OSSC) conference this past weekend in Corvallis at OSU!
What an incredible experience to develop as a leader, person and ally! 
The various selections in workshops made it enjoyable and fun as we developed ourselves. 
Thanks to everyone who came! 

Oh, and I tend to doodle when I'm given paper (if you didn't notice). 

We are not in Kansas anymore Toto!

Brought to you by your student body president; Jonathan Farmer.

First of all I know nothing regarding the 'rules of blogging', if such a thing even exists, but in my mind blogging is merely an arena to expound on self indulging Facebook posts. As such the following is a self indulging rant where I use the term artistic liberties to justify my disregard for punctuation, spelling, etc... and I've included a random title so it looks more official. :) 

  We are not in Kansas anymore Toto! 

 
      I used the famous Wizard of OZ catchphrase as the title of this blog because I love the thought that once we have gotten outside of "Kansas", which in this sentence for me represents the traditional way of looking at things- ourselves included, that at the end of the day we are all able to find in ourselves the very things we have been looking for while out in the world. ie Courage or Confidence, Heart or Compassion, and Brains or Wisdom. Sometimes we just need to take a step back and sometimes it is a step up but either way everyone needs to get out of the normal and realize that we, and those around us, are extraordinary and can do extraordinary things.

Close positive sappy Facebook type post and insert angry argumentative post-

 

     While I am sure there is little doubt that we are not in Kansas I have had some doubts recently that we all made it out of high school. For example this week in discussions with Gary Dukes, Darin Silbernagel, and Megan Habermann I was told that my opinion as Student Body President mattered little in relation to what administration felt was an appropriate course of action, that what students and I wanted to do was merely an "optional" endeavor and they would not allow us to pursue it...No rules were to be broken, no policies neglected, and no procedure circumvented, just students participating in the entirety of an educational conference as they have for years and paying for it with student approved funds. Although our "optional" cause would create a greater sense of community, solidify and secure knowledge of social justice issues, and ensure the safety of students it was still not going to be allowed.

     I felt as if I was back in high school and was being patted on the head for trying my hardest but that the grown-ups were now going to step in and make the "correct" decisions for me. It was no different than in high school where the student's decision making power was merely administrators giving lip service to an idea of students knowing what was best for students and then forcing students into making the decisions they themselves want to be made. In my aforementioned meeting there were no add-visors in the room who could add to the conversation and assist in making the students vision reality but instead there were super-visors who's power and opinion would continuously super-cede the students.

     I did everything I could to satisfy the concerns they expressed by citing those with more power than myself, not to mention the administrators, and did so with great success... but to no avail... there was still one concern that I could not address  I cannot satisfy a concern that is not fully expressed or one that is based on the belief of inherent superiority. Since I was not given an explanation I cannot tell you why our choosing to attend a documentary regarding how increased education levels lower incarceration levels is considered an "optional" part of the conference.  I can tell you that in my experience when an explanation is not given, after one has been sought, it is either because they do not have one or they only have one that is unjustifiable to the public... or at least those of us that are being held down.  I believe the term that first came to my mind was... well let's actually discuss the second term that came to my mind which was "Institutional Oppression". 

    Portland Community College taught me that Institutional Oppression, which is based on the belief in inherent superiority or inferiority,occurs when established laws, customs, and practices systematically reflect and produce inequities based on one’s membership in targeted social identity groups and happens regardless of intent. I believe there is little doubt that these administrators believe that inherently their judgement is more relevant than ours as students.  I believe this because when finding themselves no longer with policy to quote or a system to blame, the decision came down to a judgement call and the administration judged that their reservations- what ever they may really be- were more important than our request stay the night in Corvallis and safely obtain information from among their peers at the Oregon Students of Color Coalition Conference... and there is nothing now that I can do about it... But there is something YOU can do... Get Involved- Stand Up- and Shout Out-loud. Institutionalized Oppression goes on all the time and a conversation cannot be had to address it unless you are willing to share your voice. 

PLEASE provide us with ANY comments, questions, or concerns you may have.

You can also get directly involved by stopping by the ASWOU office and picking up an application to become involved. I am looking for a Presidential Intern... Just stop by and ask us how you can make a difference.

Long time no post!

Wolf Droppings is back...after a huge unintentional break!

Spring term is officially underway, we are now in week 2! Looking around campus we can see the weather changing, the birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, and the squirrels seem to be a lot more active!

Spring term is always a challenge thanks to the weather, but it signifies the the end of yet another school year.

ASWOU is busy working for you this term! The Book Exchange is open all this week, located on the lower level of the Werner University Center by the ASWOU offices. There are still a lot of books available for purchase, and you still have time to sell your books! For those of you who didn't know, the Book Exchange is now online, meaning your can browse our inventory from any computer via your portal. Check it out!

Also happening this term is the annual VOTE drive! VOTE Team members are dropping by classes to register students, and always available at a table in the upper level of the WUC! As of April 6th 236 students have registered to vote! Why register? If you have never registered, if your address, signature, name, or party affiliation have changed, or if it has been a while since you last registered, it is a good idea to fill out another card! If you are from Alaska, or are currently receiving the Western Undergraduate Exchange, do not fill out a card or you will lose your benefits! But, for everyone else...VOTE or VOTE!

Be sure to check back often, I promise to keep up with the posts this term!

And we're back!

Welcome Back!

After a summer full of change ASWOU is finally moved into our new office space, located on the lower level of the Werner University Center, and is busy getting back to work for students! There are a lot of exciting new things going on this year within ASWOU, and around the campus in general! 

First things first, welcome to the class of 2015, and to all new students who transferred to Western Oregon University this fall. We are so pleased to have you here, and we can't wait to work with you to make great change on our campus! 

To all returning students, its good to see you again! Lets make it another great year! 

This year ASWOU will be launching several new ways for you to keep up with campus politics, as well as fun events, and day to day activities.  If you picked up The Journal today you may have noticed a piece written by ASWOU President Jonathan Farmer.  This column will appear twice a month to keep you up to date on all things ASWOU, so be sure to pick up the paper when it comes out! 

Also planned for this year is a brand new ASWOU radio show on our campus station KWOU (http://wou.edu/student/kwou/). The show has not been launched yet, but we will let you know as soon as it goes on air! 

We look forward to working with all of you throughout the year! Stop by the offices whenever you want, and don't ever hesitate to come on in!
