EMPLOYEE TESTIMONIES

"I chose to work at the EC because I knew it would help with my professional development. I did not expect it to change my life in so many positive ways. Here, I have learned how to get out of my comfort zone, become an effective communicator, and have a lasting impact on the university through my fundraising efforts. The EC has taught me how to lead by example, and I am so proud to be apart of a diverse team of individuals who are all working toward the advancement of Ohio State. My time as a student engagement specialist has inspired me to hopefully continue my work once I graduate as I apply to become full-time specialist at the Engagement Center."- Haley, Current Full Time Engagement Specialist and former Student Supervisor

I began working at the EC not only to support myself financially throughout college, but also to build professional skills within a university-centered environment. When I first joined the EC, I did not expect the work and culture to be as engaging and rewarding as they were. However, after just a few weeks, I was fully invested. Working at the EC introduced me to the impact of professional fundraising while helping me strengthen my communication, adaptability, and problem-solving skills. Initially, I never imagined I would excel in this role to the extent that I have, especially because every interaction has its own unique opportunities and challenges. However, being part of such a supportive, enthusiastic, and encouraging team has allowed me to grow both personally and professionally. Being in a student leadership position, I have gained invaluable skills, experiences, and connections that I do not believe would have been possible elsewhere, such as a traditional campus job. My time at the EC has played a significant role in shaping my professional development and preparing me for future opportunities." Carli Jordan, Current Lead Student Supervisor
