Essay Questions:
Please list past and present college co-curricular involvement. Include date of service and extent of involvement. Three important skills that the Patient Advocate possesses are good listening, problem solving and being a team player. Briefly describe how each of those skills pertain to you and the situations you've used them in. Which of your experiences at UCSB have been factors in the development and enhancement of your skills and abilities? This position involves a lot of public speaking--sometimes in small committees, other times in large lecture halls in front of hundreds of students and/or parents. This is a two-part question. A) How comfortable are you in this situation? B) Tell us about a positive experience you've had and include the details it took to prepare for this talk. In accepting this position, our expectation is that you exhibit the highest level of commitment to Student Health and what it represents. What is your definition of commitment? What are your future goals and plans? How would this position contribute to these plans? Anything else you would like to tell us?
