Student government has not met its potential and must work to get involved and in touch with the student body to open the lines of communication, identify and serve the needs of students, and effectively represent students' concerns to the administration. These are the reasons why I have stayed involved throughout my time at Bowdoin. Definitely, more than you can ever realize. I have lists of things that I want to do. I have been on the Student Assembly, Student Activities Fee Committee, a College House President, on the Inter House Council, and the Business Manager of the Bowdoin Cable Network.
Students can learn so much from extracurricular activities.
I can honestly see myself growing as a person. I participated in a summer business program at the Amos Tuck Business School at Dartmouth two summers ago. This introduced me to a few subjects not taught at Bowdoin. I am now working on an Honors Project dealing with research about leadership. I will be researching to find administrative methods that people in business should possess by looking at numerous case studies.
