Dear Hiring Committee, Please receive this letter as my interest and excitement in the open position as posted by your office. As an interested candidate, I understand you are looking for a candidate that is capable of executing the various duties of the position including: assisting & managing services and resources to students in crisis, advising and supporting student groups, supervising a graduate assistant, leading programs and supporting the office and its mission and values. Not only do my personal philosophies align with the mission and values of those of your office, but I am confident that my relevant experience and skill set make me uniquely qualified to be successful in this role. For the past two years I have been fortunate to work in the Florida State University Center for Leadership & Social Change where I have worked with programs and experiences aimed at developing students into responsible citizens and effective leaders engaged in the world around them through identity development, leadership education, and community engagement. I have had the opportunity to develop students through programming at the intersection of leadership development, multicultural education, and community service. In my role, I have lead the planning committee for the Vrak-ke-ce-tv Cultural Graduation in partnership with four other departments on campus, and advised & supported student groups. I coordinated programs for diverse students geared toward personal, professional, and leadership development, I have fostered extensive student interactions and relationships through advising and supporting, survey development, student participation tracking, and data entry for program assessments. Additionally, through my internship serving as the co-advisor of the Black Student Union at Florida State, I have gained experience advising a student group and helping them coordinate interactive programming, leadership development, and marketing on campus. Through this role, I have also gained the necessary skills to aid students in crisis and helping them navigate through difficult experiences while providing them with as many resources as possible to help create a positive collegiate experience. Through my work experience, campus involvement, and community engagement, I have been able to acquire the extensive experience needed to work with diverse student populations across various academic disciplines. I also have the ability to foster genuine, supportive relationships with students through social and emotional support. As a Graduate Assistant for the Center, I have had the opportunity to supervise an undergraduate student, worked with different populations of students, and balanced multiple job responsibilities. As a former Algebra 1 teacher in Louisiana during my commitment with Teach for America, I have led a variety of educational initiatives to aid in successful student learning and development. Through all of these experiences I have gained the knowledge necessary to not only connect with students, but also to creatively implement curriculum. I hope to bring this creativity, cultural competence, and passion for providing support services to your team. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss the ways in which my unique experiences can strengthen your existing team and departmental goals, and how I can bring my personal passion for supporting student growth in becoming active global leaders to the students of the University of Cincinnati. Sincerely,
Satcha Sanon, M.S.
