Clemson University Cultural Ambassadors
2016-2017: I joined African American History Month Committee and planned the "History Uncovered" Event, which was attended by over 60 people that I targeted through marketing via email, social media, and in-person oral communication. 2017-2018: I was voted Vice President of Clemson University Cultural Ambassadors. My duties included managed online polling to ensure that the meeting time can be attended by as many members as possible, recorded notes during the meetings, helping to plan and coordinate our events such as multicultural dining day and International Festival. 2018-2019: Due to my studying abroad in Fall of 2018, I could not hold an official leadership position in the organization. Instead, I was labelled an executive board member, volunteering to help the Vice President and President with any particular difficulties they may face, such as managing and preparing the food for International Festival, volunteering at our collaborative Holi event, and continuing to recruit new members.
