Junior-level business and accounting students,

Are you interested in non-profits? Do you want hands-on experience in the banking industry? Want to make industry connections before you graduate? Numerica Credit Union is again looking for one junior to serve on its Board of Directors for the 2022-2023 academic year. Being on a board of directors is a prestigious post. This is an opportunity to learn about the inner workings of a financial institution and to network with people in the industry. The opportunity is open to all business students. Accounting and finance students may find it most in line with their course work, but I would encourage any business student who is looking for experience in non-profits, community organizations, or servant leadership to consider applying. Gonzaga has had several students earn this prestigious position over the years. It is a great way to build your resume and apply your classroom learning.

To qualify, you must be a junior-level business or accounting major and be able to commit to two years of service to the Board as a non-voting member. You will be expected to contribute to the board including attendance at meetings on the fourth Monday of each month at 5 p.m. You must have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 and a GPA of at least 3.0 across all your business courses (or their equivalent).  You cannot be on any type of university probation. You also must meet with the approval of the Numerica Board, as they are making the final decision. You must also join/be a member of Numerica Credit Union, pass background checks, and sign confidentiality and ethics agreements.

If you are interested, please email Dr. Pepper – pepper@gonzaga.edu – a current resume, an unofficial transcript, and a 300-word statement of interest that includes a section on how you would best serve and fulfill your duties as a student director. You must also receive two recommendations from Gonzaga faculty/staff using this form. (Form requires user to be signed into a Gonzaga account.) Send your application packet to Dr. Pepper via email. The due date is Sept. 2.
