Krispy Kreme Summer Internship Program Accepting Applications!

“The Krispy Kreme Internship Program is truly one of a kind. If you want to wake up in the morning genuinely excited to begin your work day, this program is for you. You will spend the summer working on meaningful and impactful projects in your department, have fun ways connect with your intern class, interact and learn from our Global Leadership Team, as well as see what makes our sweet treat brand so special. Speaking as a now full time employee who began as an intern, you don’t want to miss out on this opportunity!”  --Leah

Welcome Back Business Niners!

Welcome back Business Niners! My name is Erika Colvin and I am a Senior, Finance Major, and I serve as one of the senior Peer Advisors this year! I am so excited to welcome all of you back to UNCC for the Spring 2021 semester and give you an introduction to this year’s Peer Advisors! Throughout this post, I am thrilled to tell you all more about Peer Advisors and what we do, how to schedule an appointment with Peer Advisors, different benefits about scheduling appointments, and different ways to be successful throughout this semester! 

1. Who are the Peer Advisors and what do we do?

• Peer Advisors are declared Belk College of Business students who work to support undergraduate students as they progress through the pre-major curriculum by offering supplemental academic advising; helping them understand the major declaration requirements and process; clarifying their academic and career goals; providing mentoring to students classified as at-risk by the university; and assisting students in their transition by helping them discover and connect to involvement opportunities both inside and outside the Belk College of Business.

2. How to make an appointment with a Peer Advisor?

• The best way to connect with us is by scheduling an appointment with one of us through the CONNECT advising platform. 

• Login to your my.uncc.edu page. 

• On your student homepage, select the Connect link.

• Click Make an Appointment for Advising and a series of drop-down menus will appear. 

• 

• 

• Choose Peer Advising and then select Niblock Student Center, Friday, Virtual

3. The benefits of having an appointment with a Peer Advisor? 

• As current students of the Belk College of Business Peer Advisors are able to give real-life knowledge to students because we have been there before. By scheduling an appointment with us, we will be able to clarify the major declaration requirements and describe how to declare your major, provide academic support resources, and connect you with involvement opportunities in the Belk College of Business and across campus. Peer Advisors are always available, willing to help, and will do our best to help students succeed after their appointment! 

4. How to be successful in the first four weeks of the semester? 

• The first four weeks of the semester are the foundation of the rest of the semester. In order to make sure you have a strong semester you should find different methods to stay organized, be sure to reach your professors if you need extra help, and with the virtual environment be sure to read everything. I recommend writing out all of your assignments in a planner to help you organize your semester. You can create a chart with different due dates and times, assignment titles, and a section to mark if the assignment is completed or not. With everything being virtual emailing your professors to set up appointments and attending office hours are the best way to continue to stay engaged throughout the first four weeks and the semester. Lastly, most of the information you'll get now is textbase. Read carefully. Stay active. Discussion boards, emails, web conferencing, surveys. Log in and check messages as often as possible. If possible, be sure to turn Canvas and email notifications on, this is the best way to get messages from professors in a timely manner. 

As this semester begins you all should know that you are never alone! Although times can get tough whether you need professional or educational help, officials in the Niblock Student Center are willing to assist you with what you need. I hope that everyone has a great semester and if you need anything please do not hesitate to reach out! 

Thank you, 

Erika Colvin
