The Intern Queen, also known as Lauren Berger, came to campus in February of 2010 to give a great talk about – you guessed it – internships! We really loved her talk (you can read about it here) and so when I saw an opportunity for campus ambassadors I thought it was worthy of sharing. On top of working for someone who is young and fun this is also a great resume builder and chance to gain some valuable experience from your dorm! So I ask you, do you wanna be an Intern Queen Campus Ambassador? Here’s what Laurent posted […]

We know you are in China and the Philippines, on Capitol Hill and Wall Street, at Groupon and PostSecret, saving bays in New Jersey and working for LGBT rights in Estonia…all in all pretty impressive.

TEDTalks began as a simple attempt to share what happens at TED with the world. Under the moniker “ideas worth spreading,” talks were released online, with the goal of giving everyone on-demand access to the world’s most inspiring voice; this too has grown exponentially. TEDTalks has […]

They posted on Facebook: Most of the copies of our print edition for this week have gone missing, and we suspect that they were stolen. We are currently investigating, but I don’t know when or if more copies will become available.x Now, we know that Bucknell students would never do something like this. Clearly it must have been that everyone wanted to read about Missy. And who […]

It’s the Royal Wedding day and you can bet that this office full of women was truly excited this morning, some more than others of course. As usual I just had to find a way to squeeze career advice in and here’s my advise: never let your major limit what you do!
