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 Responsibilities:
Committee members will be expected to help put up flyers around Speed School to advertise events. Also, committee members may be called upon to attend some meetings as a proxy for myself.
 
Personal Background:
    I am from Meade County, Kentucky where I have lived my whole life. I am very excited about being a UofL and have love every minute I've been here. I am a pretty relaxed person; however, I can get stressed out at times with all the Speed School workload. I'm a very active person; I like to run all the time and play any sport. I also love finding random sites on the internet, watching multiple tv shows (my favorite is Smallville), and reading books.
    In high school, I ran on the varsity cross country and track team while also playing on the varsity golf team. I was highly involved in the Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP) where I developed my love of technology leading to my desire to major in computer engineering.
    I have always like working with various graphic design projects, so I thought being the Director of Public Relations would fit as the position requires making many flyers. I also have fallen in love with UofL Speed School in my short time here and want to represent it well.
    If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Also, if you need help with anything involving council, then please let me know, and I'll try my best to help you out!
