All this week, the CBU campus was alive and buzzing with students going to and from their student leadership interviews. Interviews for fall positions are done early to allow time for training before the next school year begins, which is a plus, because returning students know early that they will have an on-campus job waiting for them in the fall\u2026 and a great one, at that!<\/p>\n
At CBU, student leaders are highly valued and a core part of CBU\u2019s community feel. Because of this, it is a privilege<\/i> to be given one of those positions. Opportunities for student leadership positions range from admissions host to International Center intern, FOCUS leader, resident advisor, Office of Spiritual Life intern, as well as community life intern. For the music student, the Office of Spiritual Life offers a chance to play in next year\u2019s chapel band; for the student with a passion for teaching, FOCUS offers excellent opportunities to lead new CBU students in a classroom setting.<\/p>\n
As for me, I\u2019m bent on a few of them and am really struggling to choose just one! But I know that God will send my passions in the direction that I am most well equipped for.<\/p>\n
The Bible encourages God\u2019s people to use their talents to serve others, and I believe student leadership at CBU is the beginning of embodying that commission. Students often underestimate what they are able to learn while in the process of leading others. It\u2019s a beautiful tradeoff, and a God-thing for sure!<\/p>\n
Besides student leadership opportunities of the week, College of Architecture, Visual Arts and Design students have also had the chance to experience a real treat! CBU brought in Michael Cioni, the CEO of a post-production film company, to give us a lecture on what it means to succeed in his industry.<\/p>\n
While at dinner just before the lecture with a design friend of mine, we were called over to another table by one of our professors. Unbeknown to us, a group of fellow design students and professors had formed a gathering around Mr. Cioni to chat with him and get to know him a little before the lecture began \u2013 what a neat opportunity that was!<\/p>\n
All in all, this week at CBU was definitely full of new opportunities \u2013 some expected, some a happy surprise! A family friend smirked at me a couple weeks ago as he said (sarcastically of course), \u201cSo it seems from your blogs that you\u2019re not enjoying your time at CBU at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
Oh, what a silly thought! It seems that every day, I\u2019m introduced to another beautiful chance to grow and develop as a designer, but also as a woman of God\u2026 and for that I\u2019m very grateful!<\/p>\n
So as classes become more challenging and schedules get even tighter \u2013 I say, bring it on CBU!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
