The Louisville Collegiate School Alumni Office is announcing its 2008 Young Alumni Summer Jobs Program. The program is for young alumni who are attending a college or a university and are looking for a summer job.

Below are several companies and businesses that have identified jobs or internships that might be of interest to our young alums. If a job interests you, please contact the Alumni Office for more details at 502-479-0375 or at ashley_mcintyre@loucol.com.

The Jobs:

The company’s mission is to provide exceptional value and service to its customers. Special thanks to Collegiate parent Martyn Gallus for helping us locate this job.

National City Bank: "We have a few positions each summer in our branches for customer service representatives. Seasonal employees have the added advantage of being known talent if they choose to apply for one of our training programs after graduating from college. Some additional information you may find useful is that students who work for us in the summer are often welcomed to work during their holiday breaks and successive summers. If they attend college in a city where National City has branches, they may also be able to work a regular part-time position in that location during the school year. We have branches in KY, IL, MO, OH, PA, MI, IN and FL. Students who speak a second language, particularly Spanish, are of great interest to us.” Special thanks to Collegiate alumna Austin Anderton ’97 for helping us locate this job.

"Once again our community showed its dedication to Collegiate with its many generous gifts," she said. "Collegiate is truly a unique educational institution, and we are grateful for the support from our parents, alumni, teachers, staff and friends."

Collegiate alumna Tracy Rigor '83 served as alumni chair for this year's Annual Giving campaign.

Several donor groups contributed 100 percent participation to the campaign: faculty, staff, maintenance staff and the Collegiate Board of Trustees.

Funds raised through the Annual Giving campaign are used to provide need-based financial assistance for qualified students, faculty salaries, facilities upkeep and programs like arts, athletics, professional development and technology. More than $1.3 million in financial aid was awarded for the 2007-2008 school year, thereby, increasing economic, social and cultural diversity in the school. Collegiate's annual giving campaign raised $437,000 last year.
