Cover letter for university position

Abstract

From Berklee College of Music's human resources website, I learned of numerous openings within the university. I am very interested in these positions, for I am seeking employment in an academic environment and believe that my education and experience will be very beneficial to the college and to its future students.
As a recent graduate of Emerson College with a BFA in writing, literature, and publishing and a minor in psychology, I have learned almost everything about the life of a college student. I honestly believe that this first-hand knowledge is crucial to being able to provide students with a full, detailed and fruitful college experience. As valedictorian of the Class of 2007, it is obvious I enjoyed and used fully my education; not only do I have only good things to say about my experiences, I also have many experiences to talk about. I was involved in many facets of the Emerson community and established many roles during my four years, from starting catcher on the softball team to a member of the Student Government Association, the Resident Hall Association, and the Emerson Alliance of Gays, Lesbians and Everyone. I was also an on-campus student for four years. The attached resume details further the extent to which I participated in and benefited from the Emerson College community.
