CORD Employee Spotlight 🌟 meet Jamison Lord, Tutor! Favorite class you've ever taken & why? "My favorite class I have taken is definitely Environmental Engineering. We focus on water treatment and chemistry for use of the general population. In this class, I am able to see the direct impact of water treatment and can easily see how what I am learning is important and applicable to the world around me." What is your best advice for students? "Find a community of people, because they will help you through your hardest challenges, but also be there for all the fun times. It’s fun to make memories within your community and be able to look back on how they have become your guidance and strength." What is your favorite spot on campus? "My favorite spot on campus is Bell Engineering. Not only is the layout and architecture super cool, but it’s a place where I get to see all my friends, do homework, and collaborate with my peers." How does your work support students? "I feel like I support students by helping them find confidence. A main area I focus on when tutoring is encouraging students to talk kindly about themselves and be patient to the learning process. When students gain confidence, it’s easy to see their approach to learning become a positive feeling." What do you like best about working at the CORD? "The best thing about working at the CORD is being able to interact with so many different personalities and people. Every new person I meet is a new friendly face on campus, in turn making campus feel a little less big and a little more familiar." #UARK #SuccessHappensHere

CORD Employee Spotlight 🌟 meet Amy Fourt, Career Coach with the Offices of Career Connections! Favorite class you've ever taken & why? "My favorite class that I've ever taken was Art History. It exposed me to different perspectives and helped me develop a sensitivity and openness to the diversity of human expression." What is your best advice for students? "My advice to students is to pursue your interests through involvement in campus activities, organizations, and volunteer opportunities. It will help you discern what is important to you as you go through the career exploration process." What is your favorite spot on campus? "My favorite spot on campus is the Old Main lawn." How does your work support students? "As a Career Coach for the University of Arkansas, I help students explore their skills, interests, and values so that they can make well-informed decisions about fulfilling career and life experiences. The career exploration process can include resume building, internship and job searches, articulation of transferable skills, mock interviewing, and building social capital through strategic networking with employers, and it is my privilege to help students navigate through each these steps throughout their college experience so that they have an understanding of professional competencies in today's workplace. Embedding career education throughout the student's college life ensures that students are well prepared and equipped to make a positive impact in the world." What do you like best about working at the CORD? "The best thing about working at the CORD is that it's student-centered, a place for students to find support, encouragement, and helpful resources." #UARK #SuccessHappensHere
