Working with Wasserman: For RAs
CONNECTING YOUR RESIDENTS WITH NYU WASSERMAN
One of the reasons NYU Wasserman's Peers in Careers (Peers) program was established is to build relationships with students living on campus. The Peers can drop off flyers and resources for your residents as well as present to residents about career-related topics. See also "Important NYU Wasserman Resources below."
PROGRAMS WE OFFER IN THE RESIDENCE HALLS
Our Peers can present on the following topics: Wasserman Orientation, Resume and/or Cover Letter writing, Interviewing. Additional presentation topics will be considered but will require more advanced notice and will depend on the availability of our Peers.
PLANNING A PROGRAM WITH WASSERMAN
If you are interested in having a Peer present in your residence hall, please do the following:
1. Email us at Peers.in.Careers@nyu.edu. Include the proposed topic, a profile of the residents on your floor (class year, major), and 2-3 dates and times for the program. While we will do our best to accommodate last minute requests, it is helpful to have at least 3 weeks notice for planning purposes.
2. Market the event and collect RSVPs. Typically, we ask that at least 10 residents commit to attend the event. Consider partnering with other RA’s, allowing non-residents to attend, and utilizing all marketing channels to increase attendance.
