Russell Conwell Learning Center

Location: Russell Conwell Learning Center

Tenure with Position: August 27, 2012 – May 6, 2013  

APEx (Achieving Professional Excellence Internship Program): I completed the Achieving Professional Excellence Internship Program (APEx) within Temple University’s Russell Conwell Learning Center during my freshman year. The Russell Conwell Learning Center is part of Temple University and it provides students with many support to facilitate academic excellence, as they also progress toward the fulfillment of their life goals and careers. The Achieving Professional Excellence is a yearlong program design to prepare RCLC freshmen, who possess a work-study award for employment in a professional setting, as well as empower them to achieve academic excellence.

  • Implemented and maintained office systems, schedules, and calendars by arranging and confirming appointments
  • Participated in a weekly professional development seminar to develop leadership skills
  • Prepared and delivered an informative workshop about Tattoos and Graffiti for over 15 audiences using Microsoft PowerPoint

Personal Reflection:

As a freshman coming into college is always hard to find professional opportunities that will assist you professionally and academically. Being an APEx intern during my freshman year helped me get a good feel of what it takes to work in a professional environment. After completing the internship program at the end of my freshman year, I was awarded the Inter of the Year for the program. This internship program opened new job opportunities within the Russell Conwell Learning Center and helped me built a strong relationship with the staffs in the Learning Center. I met a lot of great people that I hope to stay in touch with. I couldn’t thank everyone there enough for the opportunity I was provided my first year in college and I am grateful that I was able to be involved in such a successful and stable center that assist students in achieving excellence.
