Comment Call #1: Do you have a cool summer job?

"Life is the only real counselor; wisdom unfiltered through personal experience does not become a part of the moral tissue.” ~Edith Wharton
We have a number of "series" posts planned for this blog, as the more observant of you could surmise by the #1 in the "Summer Ideas" post. The COMMENT CALL series is an open invitation for you to participate with your own stories, insights and wisdom! Thanks to R&W Professor Laura Reilly for this great idea!

So without much (more) ado, Comment Call #1:

Do you have a really cool summer job, internship or study abroad lined up? Tell us all about it!

Click on "# comments" below and try to include:

1. Name of your "employer"
2. Your title/function
3. What city it's in
4. Briefly, what your project will be (if you know)
5. Why you're excited about it
6. We're going to be putting out a comment call in the future asking for stories about how you found your jobs/internships, but feel free to tell us here too!
(remember this is a moderated-comment blog, so there will probably be a delay before you see your comment appear...)

As you're thinking about this, don't forget to let the CSO know what you're doing! Weren't you curious about what people did over the summer? We don't know until you tell us! Email me directly (you could even refer to your comment on here and just tell me privately who you are) or fill out the survey in Symplicity (in your profile, click on "employment" and then "add new").

And. if you would like to submit a post about your experience during the summer, e.g., a really gratifying project, or enlightening event, let me know and I will give you a guest spot!
