A Note From the GSP Director |

Hello Serviam Alumnae!
Happy Spring! I don't know about everyone else but I have been loving that when I leave school, it's still daylight outside and that the weather is getting a bit warmer. I know for some folks, spring break is around the corner. It's a weird time of year because it's like, you're half way done, but you still have a ways to go. So, just know that you have done great coming this far and keep pushing through!!
Before we know it, summer will be here! I know I have talked to some alumnae about jobs and internships for the summer. I've been working on collecting different opportunities to include in the newsletter every month or to individually text/email out to alumnae that might be interested. If there is a particular field you're interested in or an opportunity you are looking for, please let me know. I will do my best to connect you or keep a look out for anything that comes my way !
As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions!
