Focus Groups with ARHS



Hey everyone! So Katie Wilkinson, from UHS, is looking for female residence hall
association members
to speak about women, campus drinking culture, and alcohol
use to help them start up a new campaign. All information gathered will remain
confidential. She said she contacted the area presidents, but it'd be great to have
ARHS members involved as well. You

can contact her at kcw17@psu.edu or by
phone at (814) 863
-
0461. She mentioned that they can even schedule a focus group
to take place after an ARHS meeting so it's more co
nvenient for the female members

o

Breakfast with Presidential Search Committee Member



Attended a breakfast meeting last Thursday where we discussed our thoughts on
what we'd look for in a
future president of Penn State

o

Student Leader Roundtable
