The Golden Ram Society is currently accepting applications from now until the early part of December for representatives. Potential candidates should be highly motivated, dedicated to the growth and development of West Chester University, as well as engaged on campus through a variety of organizations and clubs.
Every year, around this time, the Society recruits new members and promises each individual an opportunity to not only make some extra money, but an opportunity to meet and work alongside some of the University’s most influential individuals.
Being a part of the Golden Ram Society is a great way to add value to a resume and network with prominent people. The pure nature of the job carries a great stature of responsibility once one assumes the role. Members are expected to represent West Chester University’s student body in front of alumni, current and potential students, faculty and staff, and the friends and family of everyone affiliated with the University. Students of the Golden Ram Society are essentially liaisons between the WCU student body and other inside or outside actors.
The prestigious job title and job description does not emphasize how fun and exciting this opportunity can be. As a member, you attend some of the campus’s biggest gatherings and enjoy meeting some interesting people that once were students of this very same campus and community.
Representatives also act as a guest or facilitator at premiere events with premiere guests with premiere food and entertainment. The experience that comes with being in the Golden Ram Society is a priceless one and opens up your door of opportunity in more ways than one.
In addition to good times and a highly regarded position title, the Golden Ram Society pays. For every twenty hours completed, students are awarded a $250 scholarship that is credited to their account through the Bursar Office. The scholarship automatically pays any outstanding debts, and the difference goes into your pocket. Students are allowed to complete up to twenty hours each semester, for a total of forty in the year.
I strongly recommend students to inquire more about the position. The application is a short one that asks the standard set of application questions and requires an essay statement in response to a hypothetical question and a letter of recommendation from a professional source. Likely candidates also demonstrate strong academic standing and involvement with some other student organization or club. It has been a year since I joined the Golden Ram Society and the experience has been nothing short of beneficial. Take the time and visit wcufoundation.org to learn more or submit an application.
