Social Chair Spring 2012

in psk on 27 Dec 2011

Summary

My terms as social chair during Fall 2011 went quite well, but there were several things I was unsatisfied with. This presentation outlines several different areas I would like to see improved.

After my successful stint as Social Chair during Fall 2011, I considered running for the position again during spring 2012. Although people never use PowerPoint during election speeches at Phi Sig (my fraternity at MIT), I wanted to spice things up with a vibrant, eye-catching presentation that gave people a sense of where I think social should go. Below is a draft PowerPoint of that presentation.

This analysis ignores some obvious facts: small countries are over-represented in the number of athletes they send and the relationship between athletes sent and medals is linear. I present a brief analysis to support and expand on these claims.
