ALP Pledge (you will be asked to sign this at your first advising session)
ALL students -- information you will need to review and/or prepare **prior** to your advising session:
- ALP Certificate Requirements
- Graduate Policy on Arts Leadership Program Course Credits
- Spring 2009 ALP Curriculum **FINAL 10.31.08**
- ALP Course Pre-registration form for Spring 2009 courses
- Important ALP Dates to Remember for Spring 2009
(whew! there's a lot to remember for Spring! Print this out and keep it with your calendar or post in your room.)
And in preparation for discussion on internships, you are strongly encouraged to review:
- Local Internships Application Process & Procedures (including dates)
- Post Graduation/ Summer Internship Fellowship Information
- Special Opportunity Grant Information
- Resources to help you write your résumé
Before our session, please review the curriculum and think about what courses you may be interested in taking next semester. Please remember that there are “core” courses you will be required to take. Bring the completed registration form or we can fill it out together. (Unfortunately, registration forms will not be accepted unless you have attended an advising session.) We’ll also be talking about additional grants available for summer, post graduation, and special opportunities as well as local internships for the following year.
You are strongly encouraged to have a résumé or curriculum vita prepared prior to the end of the Fall semester. You will be using this to apply for an internship, audition, apply to grad school or for a job. The ESM Office of Careers and Professional Development has some resources here that can help you in writing it. After you have looked at those resources and have your first draft, please contact the Careers office to set an appointment with ESM Careers counselor to offer review and advice.
For those of you graduating this semester or who have already received your certificate, an advising session is not required. However, you may wish to sign up to talk to me about any questions you might have about special opportunity grants or post grad internships.
Please contact the ALP office should you have any questions.
