Over the course of the last month, myself and a few other students in the Communication Studies major at USCB have attempted to revive the Communication Club at USCB. The four of us began with a couple of meetings about what we envisioned the club's mission and functions to be. Dr. Sawyer has agreed to be our faculty sponsor and she has been helping us find our way in getting the club started again, since we are having to figure most of it out as we go along. I found myself in the role of club president when we decided to select officer positions, and I have thoroughly enjoyed the process.
Having the opportunity to head up a team with the goal of reviving an organization and then running that organization is something that I have found myself to not only be good at but also enjoy. We have now had several meetings and during each one I have been tasked with running the meeting, dictating the flow of the conversations and the direction that we are taking the club. I think the most exciting part of the opportunity to be club president is the opportunity that I have to leave a lasting legacy at USCB. This legacy hopefully will be an organization that is connected in the surrounding community, as well as bringing the students of USCB together in the context of communications, leadership, and servitude.
I am looking forward to the challenges that await next semester with continuing to head this organization. With great power comes great responsibility, or so says Uncle Ben in the Spiderman series. I believe that this is absolutely true, and what little powerIi do have over this organization I would like to use to better the student body and the relationships that the students and the community form.
Til next time.
