SPRING RECRUITMENT

We had 22 excellent interviews this semester. A big thanks to all of the current members who sat in on these interviews. It was decided that we would take 9 or 10 new members, considering the current size of our group and who is graduating, etc.   The group discussed each interview then voted via a ballot.  Congratulations to our new members (name, class year, major, hometown):

  • Anna Chatfield – Sophomore – Marketing – Greenwood, IN
  • Cassie Derado – Sophomore – Elementary Education – Noblesville, IN
  • Meghan DeRoo – Freshman – Dietetics – Xenia, OH
  • Devin Hillsdon-Smith – Sophomore – Legal Studies – Granger, IN
  • Michael Konopasek – Freshman – Telecommunications – Munster, IN
  • Sally Prosen – Freshman – Telecommunications – Hamilton, OH
  • Layne Ransom – Freshman – Telecommunications – Boonville, IN
  • Tina Vannatta – Freshman – Exercise Science – Powhatan, VA
  • Tyler Whitehead – Junior – Architecture – Bloomington, IN


Since we spent a lot of time with discussion, we did not cover the rest of the agenda.
