Senior Project
Student (Former Employee), Detroit, MI – April 28, 2013
Senior project was a one semester term class where we were introduced to concepts of conducting research. We were expected to understand the process and write a paper equivalent to standards of a journal paper. We were questioned on our understanding of the concepts involved by faculty members.

My summary
Office Of Endowment (Former Employee), Detroit, MI – March 18, 2013
A typical day at work or at home is always amazing, you learn new things everyday and I can say that I have not had not a bad day at a job or school. I keep the negative where it's at. I like to stay positive with high hopes and I don't let nobody bring me down or steal my joy.

On a typical day, one will see about one hundred students come through the office. The staff members are helpful and will do their very best to help the students.

Progressive environment within the right atmosphere
General Office Assistant (Current Employee), Detroit, MI – February 26, 2013
Pros: free tuition for full-time employees and half price tuition for their dependents, health care package
Cons: job security is recently lacking and ability to progress is not as easy as it once was
A typical day at work involves anything from entering an application into the University system to helping a student find their lost cell phone. It usually starts off quiet with checking email and voice mail messages, then escalates into problem solving for students and staff. I have learned a lot about different cultures, communities and myself. My – more... supervisor is the greatest person in the world to work for, but it is time for me to grow and move on and she supports me wholeheartedly. My co-workers are generally nice and value what I do for them. The hardest part of my job is the constant work flow, but this is where my multi-tasking skills come in handy. The most enjoyable part is satisfying an agent and/or student and receiving praise after I have helped them solve their problem in a timely manner. – less
