Hello, my name is Nick Malendowski (He/Him). I am a first-year student in the College Student Personnel program, and I am a member of the Interview Days planning team. If you are interested in taking on a student affairs graduate assistant within your office, this message is for you!

We are still early in the process of putting together our I-Days experience but are beginning to compile internship descriptions.
