Why did you become a Pride Network Officer? I became an officer because I wanted to become more involved with Pride Network. As a previous member, I saw that Pride Network planned lots of activities and events and I wanted to be a part of that process.

What are your goals for Pride Network? As social chair, I want to see Pride Network host a variety of events where people came come to just have fun and relax. Movie nights, dance lessons, concerts, restaurant trips, film festivals, and a kickball tournament are all examples of events that I think Pride Network can sponsor.

How do you think members will benefit out of Pride Network and its meetings? I think of Pride as my second family on campus and I think that's an important role that Pride Network can provide. What's great about Pride is that whether you want to be really involved with politics, activism, community outreach, volunteering, socializing, or just hanging out, Pride Network provides all those different opportunities.
