SABRs: Social and Behavioral Representatives

The College of Social and Behavioral Sciences (CSBS) is pleased to announce the SABRs program.  SABRs stands for Social and Behavioral Representatives.  Students who are selected to serve in the SABRs program will work directly with the CSBS Dean and Associate Dean to promote college-related programs and serve as ambassadors to prospective students and external constituents.

For example, SABRs will attend college recruitment events on campus, conduct occasional tours, meet with CSBS alumni, and represent the college at administrative events like presidential lunches.  SABRs will also work with our college marketing and promotions team to create and evaluate publicity materials.  If there is a way to improve CSBS, we want SABRs to be a part of it.

The SABRs program begins in fall 2013, however we are now taking applications for 10 positions.  These ten SABRs will serve an important and unique role as they will represent our first initial leadership team.  The commitment to serve is only for one semester, but students can apply to stay on for additional semesters if they so choose.

In addition to bragging rights and cool CSBS apparel, an individual who serves as a member of SABRs has the option of earning an internship notation on her or his official college transcript.  This internship notation does not provide college credit, but it will signal to potential employers and graduate schools that the student has served a 50-hour internship position for the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences.  

The application deadline is now passed.  We will be reviewing applications and notifying students whether they made the interview stage on April 5, 2013.

If you have any questions feel free to contact Dr. Richard Featherstone, Interim Associate Dean for the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences.  His email address is: richard.featherstone@uni.edu.
