Image: We have two new opportunities for our members to participate in FRC projects this spring. The first is to help organize the spring banquet, a festive gathering in April when we celebrate our graduating seniors, give out paper plate awards and raffle prizes, and share a (distant) meal together. The second chair assists with recruitment: as high school seniors learn about admissions decisions, we want to get the word out about our diverse and inclusive community. The advisers and DAs will assist you with planning in both cases. If you are thinking of running for exec board next year, either of these opportunities would be a great chance to collaborate with this year's leaders. We welcome joint applications if two of you would like to serve as co-chairs for either committee. If you are interested in applying for committee lead, please email frc@uga.edu with the position you are interested in; your resume; and a short paragraph on your relevant experiences and ideas for the committee. Deadline to apply is 11:59 pm, Sun., Feb. 14. Interviews will occur between February 15-18 and you will be contacted to schedule a time-slot with the DAs. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Chera Jo, Dr. Ehlers, or any one of the DAs. We encourage you all to apply! FRC welcomes applications for spring semester Recruitment Chair!
