Happy Birthday to The HUB!!!
by Sandra Blumanhourst, Asbury Theological Seminary, Wilmore Campus, Alumni
Since its launch on February 1, 2013, The HUB has been a place of reconnecting alumni with other alumni. The Ministry Network helps to provide alumni with a way to mentor one another in one’s respected area of expertise. This is a place where alumni can find current students who have uploaded their resumes. Registering for an event at Asbury has become much easier through the Event Registration feature on The HUB. Similarly, making a gift to the Seminary is possible through The HUB. One is able to make a one-time gift or recurring gift. Choose the amount to give, where the gift is to go, and include special instructions (such as Charles Wesley doll).
Directory
The Directory has allowed alumni to search for classmates with whom they have lost touch. It, also, allows alumni to search for alumni in areas around the world. Recently an alumnus told us that he had a parishioner who was moving and wanted to find church with a pastor who was an Asbury alumnus/ae in the area. The directory allowed him to do a search of alumni in the metropolitan area where the parishioner was moving.
Career Center
The Career Center has a large focus as we aim to help alumni and soon-to-be alumni find employment. Our aim is to have between 150-200 active job postings at all times. Jobs come from a variety of places including churches and organizations where alumni work, denominations of our alumni and current students, and other organizations and institutions who are partners of Asbury. One can search for jobs by location, Asbury degree, or key word just to name a few. We enjoy hearing from alumni who have interviewed for jobs they found on The HUB. If this is you, please let us know. We would love to hear from you as to how the Career Center is helping you in your career search.
Another development during its first year is that The HUB has its very own LinkedIn account. Find us at “ATS The HUB”
The HUB: Student Edition
In November we launched The HUB: Student Edition. This gives students who have completed 20 hours of coursework at Asbury the opportunity to opt-in to The HUB: Student Edition. The Student Edition enables students to search for employment as well as upload their resumes for alumni to view for potential ministry openings in their churches and organizations.
Here’s what students are saying…
“Thanks a lot. God bless you and Asbury community’s ministry around the world. Greetings and blessings from the City of Salatiga, the Island of Java.” – Totok
“Sounds like a great idea!” -Melissa
I Looked for ATS the HUB on LinkedIn and could not find it.
Once you log in to LinkedIn, type ATS The HUB into the search box at the top of the screen. If you still don’t see it, click on the advanced search option. Then type Asbury in until Title. It should appear at that time.
Who do I contact if I cannot log on to the hub?
Email thehub@asburyseminary.edu and someone in our office can assist you.
