BGR seeks students to serve as team leaders
Boiler Gold Rush is looking for students who want to share their enthusiasm about Purdue to apply for a Team Leader position.
Team Leaders serve as mentors for groups of 10-15 first-year and transfer students during the Boiler Gold Rush program, Aug. 15-19, 2009. They facilitate team-building activities, give campus tours, guide participants to BGR activities, answer new students’ questions, and share their personal and academic experiences in an effort to help acclimate our newest class of Boilermakers to Purdue.
Benefits of being a Team Leader include leadership development, improvement of public speaking ability, participation in team-building activities and diversity trainings, the opportunity to meet motivated and fun Purdue students, and much more. Applicants must be enrolled at Purdue for the spring and fall semesters of 2009 and must have a minimum 2.5 GPA.
Qualified students are invited to attend Team Leader Callouts, which will be held on the following dates:
-- Jan. 27. 7-8 p.m. LILY 1-105.
-- Jan. 28. 7-8 p.m. CL50 224.
-- Jan. 29. 7-8 p.m. LILY 1-105.
Applications are due online by 5 p.m. Feb 6. For more information, visit http://www.purdue.edu/sats and click on Boiler Gold Rush, or call the Student Access, Transition and Success office at 49-49328.
