Additionally, The Placement Exchange is on Instagram!  If you are interested in participating in social media conversations and a wide variety of activities during your time at TPE and at NASPA, follow them at @theplacementexchange.

Finally, as you all begin to pack and venture to New Orleans, please let me know if there is anything I can do to assist you.  You all are going to do great!

Hey UGA!

I’ve included another resource that was shared with me by another TPE Ambassador.  Though I’m sure many of these tips you are well aware of, I figured it would be helpful to include a new list in case there is anything you want to review.  As TPE comes closer, and you all start interviewing for jobs, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if there is anything I can do to help!
