We're so sad to wish a #farewell to our hashtag talking, selfie stick loving, all-around amazing summer intern, Brooke Hubbard! We'll miss you and best of luck! Here are a few thoughts from Brooke as she heads back to Kentucky...
When
I began my internship search, I never imagined leaving the South let alone
traveling over 1000 miles to the Northeast. Entering into my graduate program,
I knew that the summer months in between my first and second year would consist
of me seeking a summer internship. For me, it was important to experience
something completely different than my current institution because I completed
my undergrad here as well. Coming from a mid-size, public institution -- I
welcomed the opportunity to experience a small, private institution such as
Lehigh with a strong Greek Community.
From
the beginning, the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs (OFSA) made me
feel welcomed and at no point in the experience did I feel like a “summer
intern”. Through staff meetings and team building opportunities they made it
easy to become integrated into the office. It was refreshing to work with
professionals who are continuously dedicated to fostering the personal growth
of their students while also making a continuous effort to challenge chapters to
thrive and excel within the Lehigh Greek Community.
Without
the outstanding OFSA staff that I have had the privilege to work with at
Lehigh, I would not be nearly as ready to enter my final year of graduate
school and begin making decisions about my future career. Through my time at Lehigh,
I gained wonderful colleagues and friends for years to come. Thank you all for
continuously challenging me to be the best version of myself and I’m thrilled
to have met so many wonderful people! Lehigh, you are a gem and I will greatly
miss you!
