My Experience on the WSU Vancouver Election Board

by Sean Philbrook

I joined the WSU Vancouver Election Board because I wanted to better understand the process and to make an impact on campus. As a Public Affairs student, it seemed right up my alley. What I got from my experience, however, far surpassed my expectations. I learned how to manage long-range planning, how to effectively communicate to different audiences both large and small and how to collaborate with a diverse team of individuals. If you’re looking for a way to get involved and to better understand how the university works, look no further. The skills I gained are applicable in the world of business, marketing and communications, public affairs, politics and everything in between. I worked with members of student government, faculty and staff, administrators and even the chancellor. The WSU Vancouver Election Board is a launch pad for involvement and it’s only an application away.

Apply by July 14, 2016 at noon!  bit.ly/ElectionsApp
