If you’re on the hunt for an internship or job this year, I wanted to share a free resource I’ve been using that will match you with opportunities at companies such as eBay, Anheuser Busch and Amazon, that you won’t get ghosted by!
This resource is called RippleMatch. It’s just for college students and completely different from job boards like WayUp and Handshake. On RippleMatch, you have a feed of opportunities curated just for you, kind of like TikTok. You don’t have to scroll through thousands of opportunities like you do with job boards; instead, they come to you. I love it because it takes under five minutes to apply to each company and get your profile in front of a recruiter. Plus you’ll always hear back rather than getting ghosted by job boards.
If you're interested, you can sign up here. It’s a quick sign up process, and if you receive a match upon signing up, it’s best to apply right away because you have a higher chance of landing an interview.

CU Boulder Provost Russell Moore today announced the search for a vice chancellor for student affairs. In March, Moore named Austin Jamar “JB” Banks to the post of acting vice chancellor for student affairs following the spring departure of Akirah Bradley-Armstrong.
“I am seeking an experienced, highly motivated and visionary person who will provide strong leadership for the programs and services that enhance the co-curricular experience for our students and that promote civic engagement and student success,” said Moore.
“The next VCSA will be expected to take new and exciting steps in helping to build a more diverse, engaged and empowered community of students at CU Boulder,” said Moore.
Reporting to the provost, the vice chancellor for student affairs is responsible for leading the Division of Student Affairs, which encompasses the basic support services that enhance the classroom and academic experience: where students eat, sleep, build community and make friends, and where students can go when they need help.
The division supports student success and wellness by creating inclusive environments that address the social, emotional, physical, spiritual, professional and academic needs of all students, in order to increase retention, academic progress and graduation rates.
The search advisory committee, chaired by Daryl Maeda, is convened and will begin its work in September with the assistance of the executive search firm Diversified Search Group. Moore plans to bring finalists to campus and name a permanent vice chancellor for student affairs in spring 2023.
For more information about the VCSA position and to apply or submit a nomination of a candidate, please see the job listing here.
