Get Your Summer On!
Ron Albertson, Julie Kern-Smith, Tom Nelson, and Nayland Olsen
Summer is a great time for Reedies to gain experiences that can help propel you into the next phases of your lives. The problem is that the average Reedie only gets 3 of them before you graduate. So how can you maximize your time away from campus and have the most meaningful and (hopefully) fun experiences? We have the answer! In this class you will get an opportunity to meet with career services staff to get hands-on resources to discover many amazing summer possibilities, explore elements of the job/internship search process (like resumes and cover letters), and polish your approach to landing a summer gig. We will spend a lot of the time in rich conversation. Through the connections we each already have, Reedies comprise a far-reaching and powerful network of opportunities. Each participant gets the chance to describe your ideal summer away from Reed. This includes talking about locations, fields of study or work, and any other aspect of your ideal. Then we will see if somebody else in the room knows of somebody or some place where the road to the ideal may begin.

Hey Baby, What’s Your Type?
Julie Kern-Smith and Nayland Olsen
Find out why you and your roommate drive each other nuts, or why you are the only one in the entire class that gets along with your conference leader! The Myers Briggs Type Indicator addresses our innate preferences, what makes us unique, and why the person next to you acts so differently. Your personality preferences can help you decide what you want to do at Reed and beyond and how to use your preferences to help you succeed. Attendees will complete a version of the instrument and we will discuss how to interpret the results for
your personal and professional plans.
