Favorite UCS program/resource: Walk-ins
Most meaningful/career-defining moment: I am still unsure what I want to do, but my current job is helping me explore some possibilities. I work as a Student Administrative Assistant at Newcomb. What I like most is being sort of in the background, helping things run smoothly. I mostly help out my supervisor with answering phone calls and office administration tasks. Sometimes I use the database to book events that students submit online. I think my job is a great start for connecting with people in different departments, such as the Event Planning Office and Business Services.
