Job description: Supervise the daily operation of a primary prevention

Most satisfying and rewarding aspects of your position: Seeing
the difference that I make in the lives of young people. As well as having
the freedom to develop and find resources that address the needs of the
youth that I work with.

position? Resident Assistant in Olin Hall. VISTA volunteer (Volunteers

Additional comments: Cornell helped to prepare me for the real
world. Not just academically, by teaching me to write and think. But also
so from my involvement in student issues on campus. The skills I learned
in politics, being able to express myself, and standing for something
I truly believe in has most certainly been useful in my daily obligations
in the workplace.
