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.

on the subject of something: reviving an old website
12 may 2015 | website
On the Subject of Something was my original blog during high-school and early college. My Opera (the site it was hosted on) closed down and[...] I was unaware of this fact during the grace period during which they allowed users to export the content from their website.

Enjoy!
