Abstract

This is the internship report based on the three-month-long internship program that I successfully completed at Daffodil International University under Students’ Affairs from 1st September 2022 to 30th November 2022 as a requirement of my B.A. (Hons.) in the Department of English, Daffodil International University. As being completely new to the practical, corporate world setting, every hour spent in the Students’ Affairs gave me some amount of experience time all of which cannot be explained in words. But nevertheless, they were all useful for my career. This report includes how a student’s affairs work, what are the possible divisions and work distribution in a student, the support services of Students’ Affairs in extra & co- curricular activities for students, the recruitment process, training and development initiatives, how to keep employees motivated as well as how to control insubordinations, compensation and benefits planning, how to lead, etc. I have worked in the Students’ Affairs of Daffodil International University with almost all the wings of students like Art of Living, Club Activities, international students’ services, scholarship recommendation, healthy campus, career and CDC benefits, creativity exposure program, newsletter, workshops, programs, events & organization development (Training), compensation, benefits, and administration etc. Daffodil International University has a rich Students’ Affairs Department. It maintains organizational responsibilities successfully. The Students’ Affairs team of Daffodil International University is a completely organized and well-reputed team. This report’s major goal is to discuss how Student Affairs plays a key part in curricular and extracurricular activities and how such activities affect students' performance. It also discusses how these activities help students develop their academic and technical skills. The report concluded by recommending that the institution and the relevant authority take the required steps to organize a variety of extracurricular and co- curricular activities and interns’ access to all departments that are benefitted for them and employed them in the students’ affairs for the benefit of both interns and students’ affairs. In this report, I worked and used the knowledge I gained from my employment, schooling, and personal experiences to assess the efficacy of extracurricular & co-curricular activity. My personal views about the Students’ Affairs, and my value addition to the students is also included in the report. With limited knowledge and experience, I tried my best to make this report as much understandable as possible and translated the real-world experience into a document.
