Drew Adair ’18, shared his thoughts on the release of LifelongÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ.com:

“I am thrilled for the launch of the Lifelong ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ program. As a recent graduate currently working for an ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ alumnus at a Fortune 200 company, I see the value of continued relationships from my ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ network each and every day. I look forward to leveraging LifelongÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s mentorship program to not only grow as a professional, but help others grow as well. I firmly believe that this program embodies the idea that an ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ education expands beyond your four years on campus, and that the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ community is one that will be with you for a lifetime.”

Engage as a Learner:

LifelongÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ features an exclusive job board curated just for the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ community. Whether members are applying or looking for talent, the LifelongÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ job board will be the place to locate new job opportunities and potential hires.

Engage as a Mentor:

The platform will facilitate opportunities to find or offer mentorship so members can guide their careers and grow their professional networks. An easily navigated user directory will allow members to offer help to the greater ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ community.

The Student Government Association has created the Acorn Fund. Two $4,500 prizes from the Fund are expected to be awarded on a yearly basis to help students’ ideas flourish.

The Acorn Fund is designated for ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ students to financially support an original, innovative, and feasible invention, a for-profit or nonprofit company/organization, or other initiatives with the potential for positive impact beyond the classroom.

While there are many mechanisms of monetary support for students interested in undergraduate research and implementing events for the student body, SGA felt there was a need to provide financial support to individuals pursuing other projects and ideas. Any ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ student, excluding those who are in their final semester, is eligible to apply for the Acorn Fund.

Interested applicants must attend an information session and workshop on Thursday, Feb. 8, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. in Moseley 213.

For more information stop by the SGA office in Moseley 213, or look for the Student Government Association table at College Coffee!
