"I knew I wanted to continue in higher ed and I took a job as a campus representative at Academy of Art University in San Francisco."

"I'm full student lifecycle for our global students."

"planning our summer institute, which is held abroad every summer and occasionally other engagement events for current students and alumni abroad."

"In my job, my most important skills are helping skills and business administrative skills."

"I enjoy working with students, uh, that has been important to me throughout all of my roles in higher education."

"One of my biggest challenges is working with the long time horizons of partnerships."

"And, uh, I'm really glad that I, I get to work at universities."

"I think that people who are self-motivated will thrive the most in higher education."

"It's a little bit of a numbers game. You probably need to apply to a lot of positions to find the ones that are actually looking for external candidates to hire in the next few months."

"So there are a few offices on campus that will often hire people right out of undergrad. Sometimes you'll get positions in admissions and recruiting."

"Finding a place where there's a lot of trust for other staff members and a general shared mission are really helpful."

"So if you can work in, um, admissions or advising or, um, even in, in research can also be really helpful."

"As someone who is queer, I've found that it is a really welcoming environment in higher education."
