Hello Lehigh Greek
Community,
My name is Jaclyn
Halm, and I am a senior studying History and Secondary Education at Rowan
University. I am a proud member of Alpha Epsilon Phi, Phi Kappa chapter and
currently hold the title of president. This summer I had the remarkable
opportunity of fulfilling the position of an undergraduate intern at the Office
of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs at Lehigh. I was asked to write this blog in
order to share with you not only what I experienced throughout the summer as an
intern in OFSA, but to shed some light on all the interoffice happenings and
improvements that took place.
Throughout the
summer I worked closely with all of the OFSA staff on creating a presidents
resource guide, as well as establishing Lehigh’s first Presidents’ Academy. The
resource guide was a twenty-page document, which highlighted all the various
opportunities and services that each office on campus could offer to a chapter.
It also offered a listing in the appendix of all the programming provided by
the university in order of which requirement they would fulfill for
accreditation.
Through this
experience I gained insight into what it was like to not only work on a daily basis
within a campus community, but to work directly with an extremely successful
staff that had amazing inter-office relations. Quite frankly, I was
spoiled. I learned what it was like to
work with others as a team, as well as the importance of reliability within the
workplace.
