Morningside Connect

Are you looking to make a difference in someone’s life, while also building your leadership and networking skills?  There are many ways for recent college graduates and alumni to connect with their community, while at the same time continually improving on their own leadership skills, professionalism, and career development.

Can you use your work or personal aptitude to help your community?  Many agencies are looking for professionals who will lend their academic and creative talents in areas such as writing, speaking, advocacy, art, language, landscaping, organization management, etc.  Using your skills to make a positive impact on a community agency will make you feel good while also building a positive image with others.

You can also use your experiences to help current students at your alma mater.  Do you have advice to share, or are you willing to let a student connect with you or observe you at work?  These types of experiences take very little time and effort, but they make an enormous impact on students.  Furthermore, being involved in these ways will help you hone leadership skills, and make you an attractive candidate for advancement.

If you are interested in being contacted by students for these kinds of opportunities, please contact me at hays@morningside.edu.
