I applied for the exec board to become a leader in the organization that had meant so much to me for the previous four semesters. After meeting dozens of new people each year and being able to talk with the then current and former executives, I knew that being able to lead in such an amazing organization would be one of the greatest honors I’ve ever received. I like the in-house environment and I enjoy being able to see how each part of STRIPES runs, so I applied to be a Nightly Operations Manager. I thought it was so cool how STRIPES actually operated behind the scenes and I wanted to be a part of that.
