The Reflection is available through Portfolium and will be reviewed by Carillon staff. The Reflection asks the students to respond to the following questions:

In which ways has participating in a living-learning program, as a student and as a mentor, contributed to your overall sense of community at the University of Maryland?

• How might you apply this experience of mentorship to your future academic and professional work? (250 words)

  Carillon Communities offers internships for credit during the academic year and the summer and winter terms on an as-needed basis and by application. These internships are project based (e.g., videos, social media, event planning, program assessment) and vary by need. Students interested in this opportunity may also propose projects to Carillon staff.

The Board meets approximately eight times each year. Carillon staff will confirm successful completion of this requirement with the UGST Dean’s Office.

  Each Carillon Community is represented by at least one student on the Carillon Communities Council. Nominations (including self-nominations) come from students, faculty and instructors, and staff. The Council meets approximately six times per year.
