BOSP Seeking Student Leaders

Do you have students who could benefit from PAID leadership training and are eager to meet new people?

Are you interested in nominating students to get involved with leadership positions?

The Board of Student Publications is currently looking for students to be executive officers and members! (No publications experience necessary)

Preparation for the workforce is key. Students can learn and practice teamwork, communication, time management, decision-making, and problem-solving, all while getting paid. Getting involved with student leadership can impact student career possibilities and the student experience in a hugely positive way! 

If you have interested students, or would like to nominate a student, please contact me (cyhonda@hawaii.edu) or encourage them to attend our next meeting this Friday, March 29th in Iliahi 123AB from 12-2 p.m.
