Dear Jamaal,

Remember Me?

It’s Mary! Runner, musician, aspiring PR professional, and all around glass-is-half-full girl.

When I said I think I would do a great job as Communications Coordinator at the Kirwan Institute, I wasn’t lying…

Kirwan Institute is looking for…

Someone who is dedicated.4 Internships4 extracurricular activitiesScholars studentStudy abroad participantCountless volunteer hoursLots of coffee

Someone who is dedicated.

I interned with SBC Advertising during Winter quarter 2012, and came back in the Spring when they asked me to.

And didn’t get paid a penny.

Someone who is dedicated.I held 3 leadership positions in PRSSA…

At the same time.

Someone who works hard.“I have known Ms. Sundermeier since September 2011 and

have seen first-hand her ability to meet customer needs, positive attitude, creativity, and flexibility. Throughout our work together, Ms. Sundermeier always conducted herself with a high level of professionalism. Additionally, Ms. Sundermeier worked with our staff on a consistent basis in relation to making our materials flexible to meet a variety of audiences including parents, youth, OSU faculty and staff, and the general public. Her flexibility was one of her greatest assets to our work together.”

-Rebecca Wade-Mdivanian, LiFE Sports Director

Someone who can write.

“Mary is a strong writer. She can tackle many complex issues and write about them in a way any audience could understand.”

-Huntington National Bank

Someone who is tech savvy

Someone with an entrepreneurial mindset.I created the PRSSA Philanthropy Chair in

2012.I created the Communications internship with

the MS Society.I don’t wait around for opportunities to be

handed to me. I seek them.

But most importantly, someone who believes in EVERYONE having an equal chance at the American dream.

So, why do I want to work for Kirwan Institute?

I would be honored to join Kirwan Institute in fighting for racial equality.
