LAS Service Learning Experience

When I found out that I was going to be on this lead team, I was absolutely stoked. When I participated on this trip as a freshman, I absolutely loved it and I wanted to be able to be a part of it again. The fun part was, there were so many different things about...

Growing with God & Others

Although it is not an "RSO", my life group through my church is by far my favorite group of women to be surrounded by at school. These women not only push me to be the best version of myself, but they are the most encouraging, strong, and inspiring women I have ever met. Not only...

Future Child Advocates-Part 3

For the last 3 years I have so much enjoyed being a part of the RSO, Future Child Advocates. As a future educator, I knew my freshman year that I wanted to join an RSO that I was passionate about and that would help me professionally. Future Child Advocates has furthered my passion about children's...

Chicken Soup for the Volunteer’s Soul

One of my favorite aspects of being a leader is also being a servant. I love leadership positions that take place in the community, and that is one of my favorite parts of the LAS scholarship.

Year in Review: Leadership Style

I would just like to start this post by saying "holy moly"!!! I cannot believe that I am just 7 days from technically being a sophomore in college. When people say that college flies by faster than high school, they aren't joking. With that being said, I could write a whole blog post on how...

Future Child Advocates

One of my favorite things I have done since being on campus was joining the RSO called Future Child Advocates. This club was formed to help raise awareness for children who don't have a voice in this world. At our meetings we always discuss ways that we can better inform the students on campus and...

Party Planners

What: As part of protocol, each LAS student was put into a group that they were interested in and were on the committee for planning any events or activities for that group. I was put on the LEAD team called "Special Events" and were in charge of planning any fun activities for LAS students to...
