Gaining Diverse Perspectives: How Archives Can Support Your Professional Life!

May 16, 6pm to 7pm
Virtual! Zoom link in story.

You may not immediately equate archives and oral histories to your professional success, but they have many practical applications. The life stories of members of our WNC community can provide information germane to all professions and create unique inlets to community engagement and cohesion. Through local interviews, listeners can gain a rare view into topics like inclusion, diversity, perspective-taking, intersectionality, and the past, present and future of Western North Carolina.

Join representatives from Hunter Library and Sylva Pride on Monday, May 16, at 6pm to learn how local archives and non-profits can help you and your colleagues. We will consider how these materials apply to all fields of graduate study at WCU.

Our current President(!), Dawson Spencer, talks about what he likes about his position:

“Being apart of something bigger than myself while still making a noticeable impact has been an honor. I’ve gotten to work with my fellow GSA members to advocate for all WCU grad students, and been privy to ongoings of the inner workings of WCU as well. I’ve highly enjoyed my time as GSA President, and sincerely recommend it!”

Dawson’s President role is open next year- apply now!!! Last chance!

It’s me!! The current Vice President of Public Relations, also known as Jay Vincent. Here’s what I likes about my position:

Being a grad student is a full time job itself, but I still like to be involved in the graduate community, so working with GSA made perfect sense. I get to practice graphic design, brand marketing, and customer service, all without being overwhelmed.
