Back in May I went to my first Cornell Entrepreneurship Network event in New York City. It was about recruiting, so it was a must attend for me. I heard some really interesting people speak, and I met quite a few people who have a strong interest in recruiting. I always questioned whether these types of events would be valuable to me, but this one certainly was. Two of the people whom I met were Christina Velderman and Gary Tuerack from the National Society of Leadership and Success, which is also known by the Greek letters Sigma Alpha Pi. Gary is the President and Founder, and Christina is in charge of Special Projects and Operations. They told me that the Society offers a wide range of internship opportunities, so I thought that it was worth sharing with you. The society “is a nationwide community that dramatically improves one’s ability to successfully attain desired outcomes.” The Society offers a speakers series in addition to a student organization / honor society.
To get a complete picture of what the National Society of Leadership and Success does, you should really check out their informational video. You may also want to take a look at a collection of videos from an interview with the Society’s founder, Gary Tuerack. The Society is a for profit venture, but it offers students many of the same benefits that participation in the Cornell Entrepreneurship Network has provided for me – getting to hear great speakers and meet great people. The Society offers paid, on-campus internships to students who are ambitious enough to build and lead their own chapters of the Society.
These internships involve “promoting and facilitating monthly videoconferences, recruiting and supporting board members, running meetings, participating in conference calls with student presidents nationwide, and other important duties.” They’re not for the meek. You’ll be playing a leading role in every part of starting a student-run organization on campus. You can find out more specifics on the Society’s Internships page, which includes firsthand accounts from current interns and specifics on how the Society’s interns are paid. To apply, all you need to do is fill out the form at the bottom of their Internships page.
