My most memorable experience this year at WOU has been becoming the student manager for the call center.

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:13.000
The highlight of my year here at Western has been completing my undergraduate degree in Business,

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:18.000
So I'm now able to start my Master's program, which will allow me to work in athletics someday. 

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:23.000
The thing that I will remember most about this year at Western was definitely as a theater student,

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:27.000
I had the opportunity of being in Five Lesbians Eating a Quiche,

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:33.000
Which was the Fall play about some women, some closeted lesbians, who just

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.000
Were really obsessed with quiche!

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.000
My highlight this year is I was able to visit the MacLaren Juvenile Facility, and it

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:44.000
Definitely changed my perspective on the juvenile system and the way things work.

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:48.000
So one of the highlights for me this year has definitely been finishing my Minor in Spanish,

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:52.000
Especially with the Chicano culture class that they offer here at

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:56.000
Western this year. It's really fantastic. 

00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.000
My highlight of the year at Western is working for Abby's House 

00:00:59.000 --> 00:00:64.000
And being the Public Relations Coordinator. It's really important because we get

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:09.000
To do a lot of outreach and that is really good for our community.

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:13.000
What I'm going to remember most about this year was studying abroad in South Korea,

00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:17.000
Representing WOU at the Yonsei International Summer School.

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:21.000
As a member of the Western Oregon track team, the thing that I'm going to remember most about my time here

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:26.000
At Western Oregon was my first national championship that I won as part of the DMR.

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.000
Being able to represent the team, to represent the University on a national level

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.000
That's something that I'm always going to remember, and it means a lot to me.

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.000
As a Stonewall Center volunteer, the most exciting thing that happened this year

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.000
Is on Giving Day, we got the most amount of donations than we have ever.

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:47.000
I want people to know that you really can connect with your professors here given the time and

00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:52.000
A lot of our classes, especially upper division, you get a lot of time to work

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.000
One on one with your professors, and I think that's really something

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:58.000
That is highlighted at Western Oregon.

00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:63.000
As ASWOU President this year, the highlight has been to be able to participate in cultural competency

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:08.000
Conversations because I know that affects a lot of students on campus and also off campus

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:12.000
And it's a good method for them and also professors to engage

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.000
In conversations that are sometimes difficult to have.

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.000
