After a great year in office as Student Body Vice President, the time has come to turn over my position. Today is the debate for Student Body candidates and next week will be the election for new officers. I am amazed by how fast the year has flown and am so grateful for all of the experiences it has provided. When else in my life will I have the opportunity to effect campus-wide change on a daily basis, meet and have dinner with the world-class speakers (including Ehud Barak, former Prime Minister of Isreal), and of course, rock out with Charlie the Kohawk at every campus event (check out the pic!), and represent all of the amazing students at Coe? I wish the next Coe Student Body Pres and VP the best of luck! It is a great ride.

Back to Kohawk-land!
Winter Break is officially over, and I’m happy to be back at Coe. I had a nice time at home with family and friends with plenty of relaxing to gear up for my next (and final, yikes!) semester at Coe.
The bad news is this is my very last semester as a Coe student. As I made my final drive down to school from Minneapolis, I could not stop thinking how quickly my college experience has flown by. I truly feel that choosing Coe my senior year of high school was one of the best decisions of my life. I have learned more in the classroom, had more fun out of the classroom, and challenged myself in ways I could not have imagined four years ago. The support from my friends and professors has been a blessing.
The good news is I have a job! I was so thrilled to find out last week that I have been accepted to Teach for America. T for A is a non-profit organization that works to close the achievement gap and give all children the opportunity for an excellent education. I will be teaching 7-12th grade English in Washington DC for the next two years through this program. I could not be happier to be joining an organization with such focus and integrity. Though I will be so sad to leave Voorhees Hall and the “Coe bubble,” I can’t wait to get started test myself in the real world! This next semester should be just as jam-packed and busy as all the rest… look for updates!
