Why do you love working at EOP?
Being a part of the legacy of student activism that created EOP in service of our students and communities that historically have and continue to be denied access to higher education. Oh! And my colleagues are AMAZING!!!
What I can do for students!
Think of Morgan Freeman's character in the movie Shawshank Redemption: sometimes it's not what you know, but who you know. Taken a step further, who knows you! My three decades of affiliation with the University means I am knowledgeable of countless campus and community resources. Your time here is very limited. No need to reinvent the wheel!
