Student Affairs Speakers Series

The Division of Student Affairs invites you to attend the monthly Student Affairs Speakers Series, which will be held Thursday, March 11 at 12:00–1:00 p.m. in AUSC 2222. The topic is “Marketing Your Graduate Assistantship/Graduate Teaching Assistantship on Your Resume."

Katie Mantooth, Career Development Services, will deliver this presentation, which will empower attendees with strategies to first identify their tasks completed on the job and then turn those into the skills they offer a future employer as well as identify outcomes, successes and goals met and exceeded. Attendees will also learn how to navigate a job description to discern what should and should not be discussed in a cover letter/resume.

The Speakers Series is sponsored by the Division of Student Affairs Professional Development Work Group and will occur the second Thursday of each month at 12:00 noon. The mission of the Professional Development Work Group is to build a comprehensive professional development plan for the Division of Student Affairs staff members. One component of that plan is the Speaker Series. The goal of the Speaker Series is to provide a regular and recurring forum to share information and knowledge. If you are interested in being a featured speaker, please contact Jamie Mantooth at MANTOOTH@auburn.edu to receive a Call for Programs.
