HC: What did you do this summer?
MU:Â I was an Orientation Planning Director (OPD) working for the Office of the Deans with nine other students. I specifically worked for Bonchek College House alongside Bridget Austin and Dean Proffitt.Â
HC: What was your favorite part of being an OPD? Least favorite part?
MU: My favorite part of orientation was when the freshmen got here. Everything that we had worked on all summer was finally happening and it was such a great feeling. It’s also really nice to put faces to the names of people you’ve been talking to all summer. I’d have to say that my least favorite part was about a week into arriving back on campus. I didn’t realize just how much work we had to do, and I felt a little bit overwhelmed and I definitely wasn’t the only OPD that felt that way. Thankfully we all supported each other and things were fine the next week!
HC: What are your plans for next summer?
MU: I plan on marching with a drum corps, which is like a professional intense marching band. It’s been a dream of mine ever since I’ve started being a musician. Â
HC: Ben or John?
MU: Ben totally! Don’t get me wrong, John Marshall is totally awesome, but Benjamin Franklin was a founding father. Plus, I don’t think John Marshall would have flown a kite with a key in a thunderstorm.Â
