What does your KA experience mean to you?
I received opportunities that I would not have had without it. This is coming from someone that has taken every opportunity KA has given me. Having experience from being the National Undergraduate Chairman as well as working experience from the internship in Dallas. You get what you put into KA, I put in a lot and got a lot back from it.
How do you see yourself being involved as an alumnus (donor, volunteer, advisor, etc.)?
I plan on staying as involved as possible. I see myself being a chapter advisor at some point or sitting on a Housing Corp.
Was there one substantive thing that KA provided to you?
Being president of my chapter prepared me for life more than anything. Running a chapter is like running a small company. Learning the different methods of communication based on the individual needs is the biggest. Understanding how to budget and market yourself is something you can even apply to your personal life.
