Summer
Leadership Opportunity
The Center for Student Involvement and Leadership announces
an exceptional student leadership opportunity: serving as a student assistant
for the Trailhead Academies, a summer leadership conference for incoming
Appalachian students.
Dates: Thursday, June 17 — Sunday, June 20 (women’s academy)
Thursday, June 24 — Sunday, June 27 (co-ed academy)
The Academies: Each Academy will host 20 incoming freshmen
who have demonstrated outstanding leadership potential. These students
will participate in four days of leadership development activities, focusing
on a model of leadership called the Social Change Model, which emphasizes
community, civility, and personal accountability. There will also be teambuilding
activities, including a hike and a group interaction course experience.
Student assistants will be undergraduate student leaders
interested in positively affecting the college experience of incoming students.
Responsibilities will include (but are not limited to):
• Attendance at a training session (approximately 3 hours)
in June, prior to the academies (date will depend on student assistant
availability)
• Availability from 9 a.m. the day the academy begins
until 4 p.m. on the last day of the academy. This is a 24-hour-a-day commitment
during this time. Student assistants will eat their meals with and stay
on the same residence hall floor as the academy participants.
• Student assistants should be willing to spend significant
time encouraging interaction among participants, engaging in conversations
and processing the work done during the academy.
Compensation: A $100 stipend will be given to each student
assistant (or $200 for two academies), in addition to housing and meals.
We are seeking three student assistants for each academy.
You may apply for one or both opportunities. For more information and an
application, contact Lee Williams in CSIL at 262-6252 or e-mail lee@sister.com

Essay Contest
Celebrate the Centennial by participating in the University
Library’s essay contest on “A Life-Changing Book.”
There are books...which rank in your life with parents
and lovers and passionate experiences, so medicinal, so stringent, so revolutionary,
so authoritative. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Have you had the experience of a book touching your life
in an exceptional way? As a child, a story may have taken you on
adventures fay beyond your backyard. As an adolescent, a novel may
have given you a refuge during a troubled time or exposed you to a thoughtful
way of examining the world around you. As an adult, a book may have
inspired you to pursue a career not yet considered. Experiences of
these types can leave a lasting influence.
As part of the Appalachian Centennial Celebration, the
University Library invites faculty, staff and students to share your experience
by writing a brief essay (1-2 pages) on “A Life-Changing Book.” Deadline
for submission is March 29, 1999. The authors of the first 25 essays
received will be awarded with a centennial coffee mug. Selected essays
will be displayed in Belk Library’s display case the week of April 12,
1999 and at other times during the spring and summer 1999 semesters.
Include with your double-spaced, typed-written submission: your name, department
or major, phone number and e-mail address. Please indicate if you
prefer your essay to be displayed anonymously.
Submit essays to: Essay Contest c/o Patty Wheeler,
Belk Library, ASU Campus or via e-mail: wheelerpn@appstate.edu
