Throughout this fall semester, I accomplished many goals. I learned and created impact by continuing to be a Bonner Intern, expanding the One Love Foundation on campus, and working on my Bonner Capstone. Starting as a Bonner Intern, I took charge of Bonner's Summer of Service and led the first-year class as they transitioned from high school. I created new relationships with the first-year and developed a workshop that led Bonners to search for their summer internships. Taking leadership, facilitating meetings, and being a resource for the program expanded my knowledge in administration and management. While these are only a few things I partook in, these two roles were the most significant as a Senior Intern.
I successfully led a workshop with the One Love Foundation, demonstrating the signs of unhealthy relationships. With my team, we decided to show Road Trip, a short film presenting the idea of masculinity and how it can impact a relationship. Several students learned at least one new thing from the event by providing resource cards, bracelets, and worksheets. I plan to continue hosting workshops in the spring as it makes a difference within the Allegheny community.
Moving along to my Bonner Capstone, similar to the One Love Foundation, I can advocate for unhealthy relationships on campus. By providing the resources on campus and improving the relationship with Meadville's Women's Services, more students will have the knowledge and resources if ever in need. Partnering up with another Bonner makes this process more accessible as we advocate for change and improvement so students can access those resources. The timeline may have been the most challenging, but much has been completed, making it more reassuring.
These are small accomplishments I made throughout this Fall Semester. In the spring, I have new goals to improve and expand in all three areas. I can't wait to see what's to come! Thank you to all who helped me achieve my goals along the way.
You have been such an incredible addition to the marketing team this summer! Keep up the great work. 😊
