PARTICIPATION AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Working on Call Team for three years has truly opened a new door. I have learned so much about fundraising and alumni relations and about the history of our university and what the future has in store. Every week, I aid in raising funds for scholarships and capital campaigns around campus.

This organization allows students to network with alumni and create connections before becoming alumni ourselves.

As the Secretary for the Campbell University Delegation, I record the minutes at our weekly meetings to ensure all members are up to date on upcoming events and reminders for deadlines.

As an Supplemental Instruction (SI) Leader I aid students in finding the best way for them to learn material for their courses. I am a SI Leader for HIST 112: Western Civilizations II.
