Interning with National Association for Promotion of Campus Activities (NACA)
Being a graduate intern for the National Association for Campus Activities (NACA) has been the most memorable and enjoyable experience. Tonight we had the opportunity to go out to dinner at Rain Forest Cafe with our Graduate Intern Coordinator, Chris Gill, and the six other graduate interns. Besides have an amazing coconut shrimp dinner, we reflected on our experience that we have had so far since we have been at the National Convention.
I have been going to professional development conferences since I was a sophomore. I have also had the unique opportunity to be part of a variety of student affairs associations. What makes NACA special to me is the warm welcome that was created since we got here on Friday. The members of the board of the directors and the convention committee continuously have gone out of their way to make us feel inclusive and part of the team.
It is pretty sad to know that the convention is almost over. Student Activities conventions level of energy and enthusiasm drives me to continue my graduate program within this specialized area. All of us interns have really bonded within the past five days and have connected really well. We came here on Friday, only having done email and phone correspondence, and today we are leaving close friends. The impact that an organization can have on you is immeasurable. Thank you NACA!
