ON THE COVER: In prior job markets, “entry level” meant no experience required, but today it can mean two or more years of experience. Some say the internship has become the new entry-level job, and students need multiple internships to earn a hiring manager’s consideration. Meet marketing intern Sidney Webster ’21, who will graduate this spring, skilled and experienced in photography, videography, social media, writing, podcasting, time and project management, leading teams, “and so much more.” She deeply appreciates scholarship donors who have opened doors of opportunity for her. Thank you for giving.

Last fall, Senior Skip Day drew national recognition for its partnership between AgeSmart Community Resources and GU students enrolled in Experience First.

Students orchestrated service projects that helped senior citizens. In the process, they exercised valuable workplace skills like solving problems, managing resources, and working with people different from themselves. Experience First began in 2016 with eight students and two projects.

To date, 340 students and 34 professional partners representing 28 industries have completed 62 projects.

THE BIG SIX AND YOU Let’s take a poll right now. Ready? Think about your college experience . . .

1. Did at least one professor excite you about learning?

2. Did at least one professor care about you as a person?

3. Did a mentor encourage you to pursue your goals and dreams?

4. Did you work on a project that took a semester or more to complete?

5. Did you apply what you learned in the classroom to internships, field experiences, or other work?

6. Were you active in extracurricular activities?

According to Gallup, the more of these “big six” college experiences you claim, the greater the odds that you fully engage in your work. You are more productive, realize fewer absences, have lower turnover, have fewer safety incidents, and are more profitable. In a nutshell: you make an outstanding employee.

When you fund scholarships at GU, you open the door for students to experience elements of the “big six.” At the same time, you prepare them for employment. You give them opportunities to collaborate, plan, and work toward goals. You connect them to classroom projects that mimic the workplace, and meaningful “out-of-class” experiences that fuel great conversations in job interviews. You give them opportunities to manage projects, time, resources, and teams. You inspire them.

You empower them.

On behalf of the students you meet in this issue and many others, thank you for funding scholarships. Thank you for giving the GU experience.

Blessings,

Suzanne Davis, President

Problem Solving Against The Ticking Clock Internship provider: Metro Community Church-Vandalia On Sundays, I’d wake up at 4 a.m., drive one hour to an elementary school and set up “church” from the ground up. On one particular Sunday, we faced a barrage of technical difficulties with sound and lighting. The challenges put our preparations behind schedule. It was the most stress I had experienced in my internship. Still, I enjoyed participating in the problem solving. Driving back home that day, I could barely concentrate on the road; the flood of adrenaline from the experience energized me.

I consider my work as a production leader that semester as one of my most valuable learning experiences. I continue to volunteer at Metro today; assisting with production never fails to help me learn and grow. Thanks to my internship, I now troubleshoot with confidence.

When I needed help or couldn’t grasp something, she’d break it down and explain it to me. I could tell she enjoyed her job. The office employees were always easy to get along with, too.

They answered my questions and helped me when I needed help. For me, every day was a good day, especially when I started doing human resources work conducting phone interviews with applicants

to fill openings for cashier positions at our stores. I gained far more confidence in my communication skills. Knowing that I contributed to the company was very rewarding.

Learning From The Best

Internship provider: Centralia Community Resource Center I started the last day of my internship feeling great for good reason: My co-workers often inspired me as they helped clients deal with mental health and substance abuse problems. The staff showed me how to engage in research-backed best practices and creative “outside the box” problem solving. They instilled hope in me to one day create an environment for my clients like the environment they created for theirs.

Then, in an instant, my great last day turned into the worst day ever for one of our clients . . .

The client’s crisis immediately set into motion conversations, decisions, and actions. I was privileged to participate in the resulting crisis call, my first ever. I managed the necessary paperwork and watched others expertly engage their skills to help our client.

My internship made me confident in several areas: active listening, keeping effective records, practicing empathy, carrying myself with professionalism, and working with people who differ from me. I want readers to know that mental health impacts one in four adults in their lifetime—that could be your son or daughter, a neighbor, a friend, or even you.

One hard day left me questioning if I would ever be prepared to teach a full classroom of students at once and keep them on task and learning. My small group of GAP kids didn’t finish their work that day. They didn’t listen, they didn’t understand the lesson, and they lacked motivation to even try. At day’s end, I felt discouraged and frustrated.

But on another day, the kids were eager to learn.

They grasped the math lesson I shared, and all of them finished their work. I helped them and motivated them without constant reminders. On that day, even building relationships with them seemed promising.

In An Instant: Accurate Read, Right Response Internship provider: Bolingbrook Police Department Working with the police department, I learned the importance of reading situations and choosing appropriate responses. I brought strong communication skills into this internship, but soon realized that police work also requires discernment to know when to say what. In some situations, people need you to just listen; in others, they need you to be stern. Remaining professional and relatable is key.

This internship helped me build confidence in situations I have never been in before, like a domestic abuse call. Initially, I was shocked and didn’t have the confidence to step up and analyze the situation; now I feel more prepared.

I drew inspiration from officers who are really good at what they do, like the night shift officer who went out of his way to develop relationships with the children in the community. Several times during the shift, he’d pull over specifically to talk with them and even let them play with the lights in the car. In this small way, he is working to change the negative public view of police officers.

Guided Growth

GU Core Value: Integrated Learning

Internship provider: Living Spring Church As a ministry intern, I saw how the church functioned every day of the week, week after week all summer. I participated by teaching, preaching, planning events, and mentoring people of all ages and backgrounds. Those diverse experiences, coupled especially with mentoring from lead pastor John Rittenhouse, helped me blossom as a pastor.

Ministry involves many moving parts. I have learned that effective pastors improvise with guidance from the Holy Spirit. God blessed me with a community that affirmed my calling and strengths, and a trusted guide who revealed areas where I could grow.

Pastor John made every moment count. I benefited from the bitesize bits of wisdom he shared as we watched the NBA finals together, shared a meal, or simply hung out. His demonstrated love for God, others, and for himself resonated with me and helped me; it resonates with me still.

Chaos In A Bag

Internship provider: Cedarbrook Campground In one day near the end of my business practicum, I entered over 300 receipts and edits into Quickbooks, the campground’s accounting program. I single-handedly turned a “catch-all” plastic bag of assorted transaction records into an efficient system that would simplify doing taxes later on. I accomplished something that helped the campground. Today, I include “proficiency in Quickbooks” on my resume.

Days at the beginning of my internship weren’t quite so satisfying, like when I had to sort through piles of random papers and alphabetize them. It seemed like little more than busy work. But our goals depended on order, and order meant getting a handle on the chaos, even the chaos in these piles of paper. Also, it was important for me to learn where the transactions came from.

My supervisor wasn’t an accountant, but he encouraged me to learn and grow and try. He assured me that an accountant would ultimately review my work.

Sometimes I taught myself and learned through videos.

The freedom to try bolstered my confidence. Today, if I don’t know how to do something, I know I possess the initiative and skills to figure it out.

Learning In Joy And Sorrow

Internship provider: West Morris Street Free Methodist Church (Indianapolis) Rev. Kristen Marble allowed me to take initiative in my areas of passion. I created a weekly youth club and organized a vacation Bible school for over 60 children.

VBS was particularly fulfilling; so many kids dedicated their lives to Jesus. What joy!

This internship helped me discern my next steps.

Soon, I will begin a master’s program in social work.

I hope to develop skills that help me create positive outcomes working with youth, and in the process, restore God’s kingdom.

On the other end of the spectrum, I once accompanied Pastor Kristen to the hospital. A woman in labor knew that her baby would be stillborn or live only briefly. We stayed with the family during her delivery. We stayed in the hours that followed when the baby died, and the family grieved. Ministry necessarily involves joy and sorrow. The experience challenged my view of our good God. It also gave me an opportunity to learn more about God and establish a theology of free will.
