For those of you that read my blog on a regular basis, you know that I've been planning to apply to Appalachian's NYC Staff Directorship for months! Well y'all, the word is out. The office of Business Affairs has officially sent out the call for applicants to the two directorships that the loft offers. The email went out last week, and honestly my heart skipped a beat when I saw it appear in my inbox!
Of course, I still have to apply, get approvals, recommendations and such, but for me, the chance to do this is so much more than something to list on a resume. If chosen, I would have an opportunity to work for two weeks in one of the most amazing cities in the world, the city that I also happen to dream about on a regular basis. For someone that one day would love to live in New York, living and working there for two weeks is the perfect trial run.
In the meantime, I've been learning all I can about the city and where things are located. I've also been studying the subway system, how it works, and how exactly to get where I want to go. I can't imagine getting to the city and not knowing how to get from place to place!
The deadline for applications is October 15th. After that, the Office of Business Affairs schedules in-person interviews for all of the applicants. There are two different two-week periods up for grabs, but I plan to apply for the Dec 28th-Jan 13th time slot.
Representing Appalachian is one of my favorite things to do on a daily basis, but getting to transition it into a city that I dream of being in makes it that much more exciting.
Cross your fingers for me!
As always, Have a Sweet Day!

That's so exciting! I moved to New York last year after graduation and actually live just a few blocks from the Loft :) New York can be very overwhelming...I grew up in a city, but being in New York sometimes makes me feel like I'm from a small town and have no clue what I'm doing here! I think the trick is to embrace the crowds, noises, and craziness...but also find your own little niches of peacefulness within the big city! Anyway, best of luck!!
How exciting! Best of luck!!
Crossing my fingers and toes for you!! xoxo
