University of Mary Day of Service: Each year UMary sets aside a day for the students to go out into the community to give back.
The service projects I have participated in are: 2015- Computer Lab Organization 2016- University of Rome campus clean-up 2017- Acension Church Cleanup 2018- Gateway to Science Standard Alignment
Student North Dakota United (SNDU): I am currently the Vice President of the campus chapter and have assisted in leading meetings and planning events. One example was the Pumpkin Carving Extravaganza. I worked with fellow members to plan the campus-wide event and transport the pumpkins from the Pumpkin Patch to campus. Some members also had the opportunity to help students at St. Anne's Elementary carve pumpkins. All the carved pumpkins went to the Bismarck Public Schools Foundation's Pumpkin Unparade to raise money to provide mental health services. In total about 200 pumpkins were carved!
Wish Fast: 2018, 2019, anticipated 2020 In 2018, Wish Fast held its first Bismarck Superhero themed benefit race.We were able to host the event again in 2019, and are currently in the planning stages for 2020. Wish Fast is through the Make- A- Wish foundation and helps to grant the wishes of children in North Dakota. We held a 3k and 5k walk/race. I had the opportunity to lead the organization of this event and work with a team of other Superheros and Villians to provide a fun event for people of all ages. There was a 3k course for the children to participate in, and along the way they were able to play different games. I had such a great time planning this event and participating the day of the race. There was a lot of planning and communication that went into it, and I think it helped me strengthen my planning skills and showed me how important it is to communicate with team members.
