In the past few weeks you have probably noticed the brightly colored campaign posters and voting table for class of 2001 executive board elections. You may have even read the candidates' platforms and been able to shake their enthusiastic hands. Now meet the person that was elected as president of the class of 2001, Amy Melaugh. Melaugh has high ambitions for her presidency. I was really interested in leadership at Conn, because it is not just superficial.
Students do have a say.
She wants to plan many activities both on and off campus that encourage campus involvement. Melaugh, who is also involved in Amnesty International, the Women's Center, Youth for Justice, the Office of Volunteer and Career Services, and Habitat for Humanity, wants to encourage both her class and the entire campus community to get involved. Melaugh, who is originally from the bay area of California, wasn't only drawn to Conn because of our nice cold winters. She considered running for J-Board, but decided to put her energies to running for class president instead. Melaugh enthusiastically encourages students to get involved in whatever way they want on campus.
