Officially announcing my candidacy...

I am officially able to announce that I am running for the Senator of Non-Traditional Students position on the Associated Students of Saint Martin's University (student government). While I am currently running unopposed, we are not able to start campaigning yet...so stay tuned for more information!

Back from New Hampshire!!!

Well, I just returned from a whirlwind trip to New Hampshire...I think that I literally spent more waking hours flying back and forth than I actually did on the ground there! We flew back there for the National Non-Traditional Students conference held at Southern New Hampshire University. There were four of us that went from Saint Martin's. We had a great time and learned a lot of helpful things to keep our club running smoothly...including great fundraising and events ideas. What was truly more meaningful for me was meeting great people...a huge shout out to my great new friends at Oklahoma State University, especially Larysa- Go Pokes! This was my first adventure to the East Coast, but I really liked what I saw and want to go back for a real visit. It was great getting out of my element to get a great perspective on life- it truly cleared my head...which was a great thing after mid-term week! The biggest moment of the trip though would have to have been eating a real Philly Cheesesteak in Philadelphia- well, okay- it was the airport, but it still checked something off of my lifetime "To Do" list ;o)
