Wanted: Volunteers for Career Assistance !!
WDCSA and STEPS (Stanford Exchange for Public Service)
What is one of the best ways you can help recent Stanford grads get started
in Washington?? Without leaving your office?? By becoming a WDCSA / STEPS
volunteer !!
What is STEPS ?? STEPS is an alumni organization designed to assist recent
grads in finding career opportunities in public service. It does this through
an informal network of experienced, employed (!) advisers who offer anything
from a brief informational telephone chat or recently expired Federal Yellow
Book to a mentoring relationship or job contact. Other volunteer options
include participating in one of the career panels STEPS puts on at Stanford
In Washington, developing a Web Site, or helping out on a committee.
Who’s in charge of STEPS ?? STEPS in DC is run by coordinator Shanie Geddes,
BA ’93, under the guidance of Chuck Ludlam, BA ’67. It’s officially sponsored
by the Career Planning and Placement Center (CPPC) on campus. The CPPC is
constantly referring graduating seniors headed for Washington to STEPS.
WDCSA and STEPS !! Recently the WDCSA has been coordinating more closely
with STEPS. For example, STEPS is now listed and described in our Membership
Directory. And starting this year, WDCSA will share its list of “career contacts”
(those who’ve volunteered one-time “informational interviews”) with STEPS.
Shanie will then contact those involved in public service fields to see if
they (you) would be willing to become a STEPS volunteer. Painless.
How to join STEPS ?? Directly, by calling Shanie at 202-546-5840 or emailing
her at
shanie.geddes@alumni.stanford.org.
Indirectly, by checking the relevant box on the enclosed membership renewal
form and mailing it to P.O. Box 12179, Arlington, VA 22219; or contacting
WDCSA Membership Chair Paul Garrett, 703-227-6352, email:
paul_garrett@mail.amsinc.com
and requesting that an asterisk be placed by your name in the WDCSA Membership
Directory, thereby enlisting yourself as a “career contact.” Thanks !!
