Participating in the "Build Your Resume with Little or No Work Experience" session taught me how to effectively highlight my academic achievements, volunteer work, and transferable skills to stand out to employers. I now feel much more confident structuring a professional resume that showcases my potential and readiness for the workforce.

Attending the Workshop was a valuable experience that helped me better understand how to navigate professional communication and collegiate settings. Learning how to format and set up a proper email signature gave me a practical tool to ensure my messages remain clear, polite, and professional.

Attending the SGA Town Hall and Q&A meeting with PGCC's President was a valuable experience. It offered great insight into upcoming campus initiatives and direct communication with college leadership. There were a lot of great questions from fellow students that I was happy to hear the answers to.

Mr. Elio showed us how to properly use GivePulse, teaching us how to easily navigate everything from tracking our hours to finding events. He made sure to point out what sections we need to check regularly so we don't miss any important updates. It was a super helpful session that definitely makes using the platform a lot less confusing!

Participating in the Promise Academic Recovery Session was a rewarding opportunity. Working closely with peers allowed me to share effective study strategies during challenging times. We were given very helpful guidance on how to avoid last semester's mistakes, learn what to expect, and successfully plan for the future.

This scholarship refresh session was very informative and provided a helpful overview of what to expect moving forward. It effectively reminded me of the requirements needed to maintain the scholarship, such as submitting the progress reports and completing 15 service hours each semester. It was a very fun session.

I loved assisting during the orientation! I helped direct students from Bladen Hall to the lobby, put up signs, and arranged the food. It was fun working with others, and it brought me out of my comfort zone. Everyone was incredibly nice and friendly.

The End of Semester Meeting was helpful because it gave important updates and reminders before the semester ends. The meeting helped me better understand what I need to do during the summer, which included checking our student email and preparing for the next semester.

Attending the STRIVE 360 workshop gave me a better understanding of the resources and updates available to support my college experience. I found the information about ways to improve in classes especially helpful for planning ahead. I also enjoyed writing down my challenges and reflecting on what bad habits I want to leave behind so I can improve moving forward.

I learned practical strategies for presenting myself professionally and making smarter decisions about opportunities. Overall, it gave me a clearer direction to take action in my professional journey.
