Hello Everyone!

My name is Jeffrey Tsang, I am a 3rd year undergraduate student studying Human Development & Family Sciences with an option in Human Services. This term will mark my first full year as an intern in the Office of the Dean of Student Life. I specialize in special projects and initiatives the office. This term I will be focusing on the Everyone Matters @ OSU campaign and relaunching it in the Fall. I will also be revamping our College Student Services Administration program website. I will also be developing a Photo Project for First Year Experience next year. I am usually the go to person for project in the office, so I get a lot of exposure to different things.

On campus, I work with University Housing & Dining Services as the Late Night & Leadership Program Assistant. I plan After Dark with a team of enthusiastic individuals from Rec Sports and the Student Events & Activities Center. I also do leadership development workshops for student staff and hall councils. I provide advising for large scale programs/events and risk management.

I am also part of the the NASPA Undergraduate Fellows Program. I had a pleasure and opportunity to go to Orlando, Florida for the annual conference. Look at our group!

It’s Saturday, April 13 and I just wrapped up with the #SAtechOR unconference! More to come about that later… stay tuned!

Summer term is in full swing in the Office of the Dean of Student Life. We are busily working on some exciting new projects for the OSU community. This summer we have two students working in the office, Sophie, who is a PROMISE Intern and myself, Jeffrey. This blog will be updated by us on a regular basis. We will also have some guest writers such as, Mamta- Dean of Student Life, Tracy- Associate Dean of Student Life, Kim- Student Life Coordinator and maybe some other surprise appearances. We are excited to share some of what we do with you all!

So once again, I’m Jeffrey and I am currently the Student Support Programs Lead for the Office of the Dean of Student Life. I am going to be a Junior in Human Development and Family Sciences & International Studies. This summer I will be working on some projects such as, finalizing and maintaining the Dean of Student Life website and blog, preparation work for the NASPA Undergraduate Fellows Program (NUFP) for the OSU campus, Video Projects, the Everyone Matters @ Oregon State campaign and also some other small projects.

Last week I was at the NUFP Dungy Leadership Institute at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. This week I tried to be knowledgable with the projects that I am doing and coordinating with Sophie for tasks. I also finalized the website and it will go live next week, please check it out! We also started to brainstorm more video ideas which are all extremely exciting! That is pretty much what I have been doing this week! Check out the blog next week, Sophie will be kicking it off with what she is doing this summer!
