Born out of the Peace Corps 50th Anniversary in 2010, SGE seeks to continue the legacy by promoting and empowering students to engage in responsible global service. SGE puts on an annual symposium that brings together students, student speakers, presenters, and participants to engage in dialogue pertaining to global service. In the past, this event has been hugely successful with 80-100 attendees. The organization seeks to create a safe space for students to engage in dialogue and to develop cultural understanding in shared experiences through various projects.  It is a great opportunity to be involved in and gain leadership experience. There is no other organization like it on campus! So join us this Friday!

Be Part of the Legacy: Undergraduate Student Coordinators Wanted

BE PART OF THE LEGACY

Last year, three students came together to plan an event which was unlike any other at UM. It was an opportunity for undergrad and graduate students to come together to engage in conversations about the past, present, and future of international service.


This year we are pleased to announce the second annual Student Symposium on Global Service and Engagement which will take place on
Wednesday, November 2nd, 7-10pm - Michigan Union, Ballroom


Last year’s event was “for students, by students” and we’re carrying on that tradition this year.  We are currently seeking two enthusiastic and involved undergraduate students  to assist School of Social Work graduate student, Gabrielle D’Angelo, in the planning of this event.

 
Undergraduate Coordinators can expect to gain:
  • Experience assisting with all aspects of a campus-wide event that could be attended by 200+ people
  • Public speaking experience, as UG Coordinators will be expected to act as emcees during the event
  • Opportunity to work closely with graduate students and staff from a variety of units at UM
  • Leadership skills, as this event truly is entirely student-run.
  • Networking opportunities with globally-engaged students from across the U-M campus.

 
Interested students should contact Gabrielle D’Angelo (gdangelo@umich.edu) by Friday, September 16th.
