Investing in Experiences: Why become part of a student organization during your university years?

This week the College of Business Administration and Accountancy Student Council launched their TatakPinoy: Tatak CBAA recruitment week, so in a typical the IPOV fashion, I'm going to list 3 reasons why you should join a student organization in your school!




1. Building connections

As part of the Executive Board of an organization, you get a chance to work with and collaborate with different organizations within and outside your university. You get to meet fellow student leaders especially during events and event meet well-known professionals in your field. In a way , you are already starting to make contacts and you will be most likely to be remebered by students and professors because you are active in the college.

2. Resume Builder

When you become an part of an organization you will be able to attend seminars and training workshops sponsored by the organization or its mother institution. Most of the time you will get discounts in this events as well. It is also a good way for you to be able to fill your resume with events you have attend and those will surely boost your credibility as applicants in the future.

3. Freebies!

I love the quote in the string bag, it's really inspiring and perfectly describes long term investing!

Honestly, this is my favorite part. There are organization which are very generous to their members and will give them freebies when possible. Take DLSU-D JFINEX for example, by signing up as one of their members, I got a string bag and loot bag with goodies for 135PHP. I already consider this a bargain considering that they  organization about an average of 18 to 20 events in a semester and most of them will be free of members. And, as an avid advocate of finance, attending in this events are crucial so that I can continuously gain financial knowledge. I also recieve a really cute email from DLSU-D JFINEX welcoming me this academic year!





DLSU-D CBAA Students, visit their booth now! (string bags  and fans await!)

Next week I will be posting about the Recruitment Week organized by the USC and CSO! Stay tuned!
