LSC Student Plays Role in Presidential Search

The decision about the new president at LSC is an important one, and one student gets to have her voice heard as a part of the presidential search committee.

Julie Austin, a 19 year-old sophomore majoring in accounting was chosen to be a part of this committee that is going through the process of choosing a new president.

"It gives me a chance to help in the process for determining the president at LSC," said Austin. "It is a huge honor to be on this committee as a student, especially as a second year student."

When putting the committee together, they were looking for a second-year student because a student in this year would have some experience at LSC and would also be more affected by the choice of the new president.

Austin also qualified for the position on this committee because they were looking for somebody originally from Vt., and they were also looking for someone who demonstrates leadership, which she does as a peer leader.

"I want to see somebody who is passionate about what they do," said Austin. "Somebody who wants to be here for more than just a job."

She also hopes to see someone that is already connected with the student body and knows the area surrounding LSC well, and fits in with our community and the ideals we have.

Austin thinks that being asked to work with this committee is a great opportunity and a great chance to work with others.
