My most recent Job has been a program coordinator for a non-profit organization, in partnership with Oregon Campus Compact as an Equitable Pathways Specialist. The Job description highly influenced my decision to apply. The description really resonated with me. I felt that through this position I would be able to do some sort of good as it pertained to “engaging students in academic and social interventions through the roles of mentor and project coordinator to increase student engagement and on-time academic progress, for some, towards a degree. In essence I was trying to get students engaged with academia so that they continue school and eventually pursue a degree. I worked with a non-profit organization “The Willamette Chicano Alliance” as their programs coordinator. The job description matched the job pretty well;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At The Willamette Chicano Alliance I planned a summer program that got students excited for college, wrote and sent out informational flyers, and I attended all meetings and webinars. It was different because there was a lot of stuff I did that wasn\u2019t on the description, but everything that was included I accomplished in my time there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
