There's no better time than now! All the best opportunities are found before February to begin your own research, networking, and contact Susan May or Audrey Mangili.  • Visual guide   Read the Buzz: Scholarship and award opportunities Various offices announce opportunities and deadlines throughout the year. Be alert, especially in spring when many deadlines are announced.  Mainstream media: Really Sooo embarrassing when job and career interviewers ask you about recent regional, national and world news — and you don't know! So get informed. Read them: the NY Times and Washington Post remain the nation's papers of record.

FAQS TOP QUESTIONS    What’s a Community Scholar? A Community Scholar completes their assignment off campus in the community. If you have work-study, you can choose to do community engagement work to complete your hours. Contact Susan May. Can I apply to be a Bonner Scholar?  Freshmen and sophs can apply to be a Bonner Scholar. For qualification info, click here. Or contact James Shields, Audrey Mangili Do I need to train before I go to a site?  Yes, training is mandatory. • Community Engagement Training If I missed training, what do I do? Since training is mandatory before you go on site, contact Susan May. Can my community engagement work count as an internship or independent study? In many cases, yes. Start the conversation with your adviser or professor. Interested in community research? Contact Susan May. Internship requirements? Contact the Career Development Center. I think my resume will look really good if I am a Bonner, QLSP Scholar, MSLP Scholar, RA and Community Scholar. Will it? No. Each program has a focus and demands that require more than you being able to show you can "do the hours".  How do I find out more about each site? For general information, ask Susan May or Audrey Mangili. For site details, check out the links and contact student coordinators listed on the far left column. If I don’t see a site I’m interested in, can I perform service elsewhere?  Yes! Contact Susan May for ideas. Can I join the Food Justice Club? Or Project Community Club? Yes! These are student clubs that work closely with Bonner Center and are open to all. Check out their club pages (Food Justice, Project Community) in this Website and contact their club officers. Where can I get reliable information about what's going on at Guilford? The Buzz, believe it or not. Notices and info are submitted by offices, departments, centers, clubs and individuals. Get in the habit of scanning the Buzz in the mornings so you don't miss valuable opportunities, from scholarship and grant deadlines to off-campus trips, events and fun stuff. Should I tell my adviser about my service learning work? Yes. Don't assume they know. To be an effective adviser and advocate, they must know your interests and passions. The can't recommend summer internships or grad schools unless they know how important your service work is to you.
