As a commuter student, I can definitely say being involved on campus is not necessarily the easiest thing. Driving to campus maybe 30 minutes for an hour-long event can push some of us to the “lazy” side. If we work, that itself is another priority to take into account. We all know that education is the primary focus in our college career (or at least it should be), but that college career should also include extracurricular involvement and who are we kidding, some fun too!!!
Madison Alexa Fowler, a sophomore at USFSP, majoring in Mass Communications, once defied the “commuter” excuse but has now become involved on campus. Madison’s first leadership position began this semester, spring 2015, as the Vice-president of Her Campus.
Let’s get to know our amazing VP a little bit more up-close and personal, whom has been a joy to work with so far this semester in helping our chapter get back on the right track.
