BEGIN: Event Ideas
With my experiences, knowledge and skills, I strive to solicit student input on COAS issues, seek fiscal responsibility and transparency among students and faculty, and provide transformational leadership and collaboration in support of top-tier academic, personal and professional opportunities for COAS students. The Janella Way, “BEGIN,” is committed to increasing the comfortability, enjoyment and satisfaction of COAS freshmen. I desire to serve my COAS Freshmen peers to the best of my leadership skills and experiences to promote:
Freshmen advocacy
Freshmen involvement
Freshmen voices
Freshmen representation and
Freshmen engagement.
Here is how I plan to do so...
”You are winning until you decide to stop. You are a winner until you decide to give up, so BEGIN. And if you fail BEGIN AGAIN.”
