Graduate student society (GradSS)
2018 - Present

All majors, all disciplines, no restrictions.

I founded GradSS in January 2018 as a response to a need. Graduate school can be an extremely isolating experience and there were no active social student organizations that welcomed graduate students from all majors and backgrounds.

The vision for GradSS is to create and sustain a long-lasting network of graduate students across departments and to promote interdisciplinary collaborations. Our events are a place where both informal and formal exchanges can happen among peers.

Graduate Student Conference: ‘Education in Uncertain Times’
March 9, 2018

I led the 9th annual graduate student conference at the College of Education alongside 6 amazing colleagues (below). It was the second largest event I’ve ever organized and the most logistically challenging. I'm very proud of how our team planned and executed the event.

Fundraisers for the American Cancer Society
​
2016 - Present

My work with ACS mostly revolves around fundraising, the biggest being Harry Potter-themed events in the fall. We raised a total of $2,056 in 2017 from our second trivia event and $6,809 in 2018 from our first murder mystery dinner party.

​Every year I work with 4 of the most talented, creative, and kind people from the community: Jill Rannebarger, Marijane Cronk, Chris McConkey, and Michael Giger. The team gives the venue a complete makeover, transforming from Elk's Lodge to Hogwarts overnight, and the majority of items sold at the event are entirely handmade. Chocolate frog or a Demeter’s Kiss, anyone?
