Campus Safari #4, Exploring your campus: Becoming a CC

Every residence hall on campus has many Community Coordinators (CCs) with each floor having two.  On my floor, my CCs are Talia and Amanda. I had the pleasure of interviewing Amanda. She gave me some good tips on the process of becoming a Community Coordinator.

Some of the steps in becoming a CC are:

1.       Submitting an online application

2.       Making a resume

3.       Obtaining 2 letters of recommendation, one from a hall advisor and one from a teacher

4.       Attending a group interview; a mock interview takes place in the career center.

5.       Having an individual interview

6.       Being able to show your involvement on campus. The more involvement, the better.

There are a few responsibilities that a CC has to hold. Some of these responsibilities are having to keep track of 250 to 300 residents, depending on how large your hall is, they have to hold socials for residence on their floor and the entire hall, CCs have to help their residence gain knowledge about the campus. Along with the responsibilities, come benefits.  Being a CC entitles you to get free housing, your own room and sometimes your own bathroom,  you would get a stipend, your name would be out there as holding a leadership role, and it opens up many other opportunities for other jobs.

Because Amanda lives in the other hallway, this is Talia's door.
