It was a meaningful experience that helps me practice how to help people solve conflicts and work with my partners. Although expected during an interaction, the conflict is sometimes allowed to escalate when it should not be the case. There are tried and tested ways of having a disagreement nicely or even preventing it right from the start. Avoidance is usually the best option as it saves time and energy. The five keys to having a civilized conflict are anticipation, prevention, identification, management, and resolution. Since these strategies are only technical nuances and the clash is real and actual, it takes practice to perfect these learned skills. As societies, we cannot avoid altercations.  However, we can have those that are constructive and helpful to all parties involved.

A typical day is reading through students summaries and reports and doing the background reading on the articles assigned. There is also some classroom presence required for teaching through the modules of the course and assessing group presentations. Another aspect of the job is consulting with MA students about their research reports, and collaborating with head instructors over marking them.

The job is enjoyable because of the degree of collaborative engagement required by staff and students, but this can also have its frustrations.

Trinity was a fair employer for years but a recent drive for growth has had a devastating effect on internal culture. Management put a lot of pressure on employees to deliver while providing very little support. There is little respect for family time. Be prepared to work under impossible expectations, be unsupported in your work, and shown the door when you no longer support the vision of the day. The spiritual, emotional and financial well being of its workers seems to be of very little concern to this employer.

My technical title was "Jr. Admissions Counsellor." My day typically consisted of going through a call list on Salesforce and contacting future students who had either started an application for Trinity Western University or had submitted an inquiry. I had certain scripts to follow when reaching out to students and was instructed to encourage them to finish their applications. Not a bad job, but I just realized that a desk job was not for me and I was pretty bored going through a call list for hours and sending out emails. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
I worked with an excellent team of staff and faculty that delivered great educational services and really cared about their students and colleagues. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sometimes certain students were unable to handle academic demands but complained a lot and put undo stress on faculty and staff.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very supportive work environment.

A typical day at work would start with shift briefing from previous shift and begin with an initial patrol of campus to see what the atmosphere was like that day.  I was able to build on previous experiences and skills gained in other fields.  My co-workers and management genuinely enjoy their roles on campus as did I.  The hardest part was the long hours but the benefits were the connections made with students and staff.

As external relations director for the prairies I did a lot of travel and met with some incredible people. I worked with major donors, alumni, influencers and community stakeholders. I learned a great deal about donor care, content creation and event sponsorships. Hardest part of the job was the travel between 4 provinces. The best part was the team I worked with, serving my alma mater and being part of an important social narrative in Canada.

I have been loving my experience there so far. Everyone has been very supportive and caring, fostering such a great learning and working environment. As a student worker, I have been impressed by how welcoming and helpful everyone has been. I most enjoy seeing students progress, either with my help or when they find the strengths within themselves. It is such a privilege to be a part of their journey!

I worked in the lab of one of the biology professors for a summer as a student research assistant, with my internship paid for through an NSERC grant. While there, not only were my lab-mates and supervisors genial and helpful,  the larger community was as well! Weekly seminars were hosted by other faculty to help the summer researchers with grad school, scientific research, and the like. Overall, a wonderful place.
