October 2010
When I first applied to SEE as a sophomore, I had no idea joining this organization was going to
impact my college experience the way it did. I had to jump in head first to find out myself what
SEE was all about, and that is why I am so excited that you have decided to apply to be a SEE
Director. There is no way to fully describe what being a member of the SEE Executive Board is like.
You learn the ins and outs of the professional world, but at the same time, plan amazing events,
have tons of fun and make a lot of good friends. There are twenty-two Director positions, so if you
are questioning whether SEE will have something for you look no further than the position
descriptions below! While filling out this application please remember that your answers will have
significant influence on our final decisions. The many qualified applicants who apply for these
positions truly make the decision making process difficult for us.
Please treat this application as any other professional job application. All the information requested
should be included, and make sure you note the deadline. No length requirements are given, but it
is possible to be passed over for a position because another candidate clearly put more time and
thought into their application.
If chosen as a SEE Director, you will serve a three-semester term from Spring 2011 through Spring
2012. Directors must attend weekly SEE Executive Board meetings on Thursdays at 5 pm,
participate in “all hands on deck” events, hold five office hours a week, and attend a SEE retreat
once a semester. SEE Directors must also maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA. As you know, SEE is an
organization in the entertainment industry, so working nights and weekends should be expected.
We have scheduled two Director Interest Meetings to assist you as you go through the application
process. The meetings will be on October 18th and 19th in the SEE office at 7 p.m. If you have
any questions about the application or would like to talk to a SEE Director about their experience
with SEE, you should definitely attend one of the two meetings!
If you have any questions about the application or the process in general, please contact me at
SEEPresident@umd.edu.
Thanks and good luck!
