If you have any Speed event that needs publicity, let me know! I will be happy to provide flyers, facebook events, etc.

Responsibilities:
  • Coordinate advertising of Speed School Student Council Events
  • Inform Council Members of opportunities of community service, such as science fair judges and guest speakers at area schools
  • Encourage students from area schools with an interest in engineering to attend the Speed School of Engineering
  • Coordinate the advertising for Engineering Expo in the Spring
  • Act as council historian
Goals:
  • Maintain the new council blog, facebook page, and weekly emails
  • Motivate my committee by offering prizes for completing tasks quickly 
  • Work with societies to help promote their events as well as council events
  • Use new technology (TVs in JB Speed) to advertise more effectively
  • Create flyers that catch peoples' attention by using color and pictures effectively
  • Expand E-Expo advertising to increase community and student involvement
 
Committee Responsibilites:
Each committee member will be assigned to a specific Speed building in which to post flyers.  The first to accomplish their task will receive a gold star.  The person (or persons) who have the most at the end of each semester will receive a prize!
Also, committee members may be called on to attend meetings as a proxy, help make flyers or other publications, etc.
 
Personal Background:
Born and raised in Louisville, I am pleased to continue my endeavors this year at UofL, which I love almost as much as the city itself.  I am pretty relaxed in general and it's rare if you ever see me stressed.  In my spare time, you will find me dancing (ballet and modern), hanging out with friends, wasting time on the Internet, or doing homework. In general, I like to have fun and be creative. This has lead to my previously undiscovered talent of "pseudo-graphic design" and to my current position of official flyer-maker, I mean, Director of Public Relations. :)
Though I dabbled in everything in high school (from varsity softball to altar server,) I had never been involved with Student Council until coming to Speed School. And now I love it!  I am so excited to be a director this year. Please let me know if you ever need help with anything on council (even if it's not directly related to Public Relations) and I will either get you in contact with the right person or I will help you myself!
