RSO Campus Grow

Planting is perhaps the most relaxing thing besides taking a nap. I found a club on campus ALL by myself and I couldn’t be happier. Campus Grow is one of the reasons why we have beautiful garden areas around campus. They are the reason why we have a spice garden patch on campus. I was highly involved during the Fall semester because they had met every week on Mondays. However, in the spring they had stopped meeting every week and sparsely did through February to April. It was so bad I had to stop going. I met people though and learned how to dry plants. I received a lot of helpful tips on how to grow my bulb plants that would sprout into these big beautiful plants. I was highly involved in growing plants in my dorm room. I was involved as much as the program had offered. We learned how to grow microgreens and the benefits from different types of plants for medical reasons to edible reasons. I got involved because the group shared my same passion for growing plants and conserving the trees. I was happy with my involvement in the group. Next year I see myself coming back and trying to get a position chair. I really want to because I want to make sure we have meetings every week and have more to talk about and give membership a chance to grow itself! 

RSO Program Board

Music, Movies, Comedians, AND COOL Sweatshirts? Count me in! I had a blast being a part of the CMU Program Board as a member. I would show up when I can so that I could have the most fun possible. Of course, I could not be involved a ton because of commitments to my grades and classes. Yet, everytime I was there the staff would know my name and say great things about me. I guess they really cared about their members. One of the big things I was involved in WAS being involved in the events that CMU program board had put on. I would occasionally go see a movie like Spider-Man and Black Panther and I would help out with events like the ghost event with Chris Fleming. I knew that my semesters needed excitement and I had to be super involved in events. It started off seeing the people that took down Pablo Escobar. I had won a free meet and greet with the men who took down a coke kingpin. They were leaders that went through a lot to help the people of Colombia. I got their signatures and shook hands with them and said my thanks. I went to Papa’s pumpkin farm with Program Board and ate RAW corn. IT WAS SOOO GREAT! Then I went to another Program Board event with Chris Fleming as the guest speaker. I won a free meet and greet with Chris and I got his signature, shook hands, and a picture too. I got to go on a ghost tour with him too. Sadly, no ghosts could be seen or barely heard. CMU is safe. Then, my final program board that I got involved in was winning tickets to see Jesse McCartney. It took me a lot of searching to find the items to get the tickets and it took me a while to find the president of Program Board to get free tickets from her. Overall, I won 4 tickets and took 3 of my good friends. Not only that but I got to meet Jesse and shake his hand. I got his signature on a CD album. It was really cool! I tried my best to be a part of the team as an E-Board member BUT I was overqualified! I had a lot of fun in this group and I couldn’t ask for more.

Lead Team

Flash back to the start of my sophomore year! I had no clue what Lead Team I was on until a week before the event. It was in fact the new Lead Team for the beginning of the year picnic for everyone. It was a Hawaiian theme event. I did not at all to put in any input because the lead chair people already put it together in the summer. It was honestly a relief though because I could count on the lead chairs. I guess what I could talk about is how I saw old faces and the LAS seniors. It was great seeing everyone for the first time since school started. Fortunately, I met Shelby Arnold my mentee at this event and I got to learn more about her. There isn’t a big take away that I can honestly say but I guess I can say is that I could count on the leaders and still be as involved. I did help carry boxes and get the pizza out. It was a cool event.  \
