see the new program that we implemented come to life. I loved

connections with others.

Executive Vice President: Arianna Rossetti
 Job: Executive Vice President
 The most important task for EVP is planning the Induction
Ceremony in the Fall. In addition, throughout the year it
is also my job to coordinate the officers’ schedules and
determine the best times for meetings and events. I
schedule the weekly officer meetings and ensure that
we have a location. I also reserve rooms for other events
such as GBMs and socials. In addition, the executive vice
president is to serve as the president’s go-to when she
needs help with any of her tasks as well as help other
officers in any ways necessary.

VP of Public Relations: Carel Tan
 Job: I write newsletters every week to publicize our events and to
make sure all members are informed of upcoming events and I
also put out questionnaires to get feedbacks from members.
 Time commitment: 1-2 hours per week excluding attendance of
NSCS events and regular meetings
 Most Memorable Experience: it is great getting feedbacks and
emails from members as I get to know each of the members more
personally. I also enjoy talking to members during different events
we have.

Social Chair: Nathaniel de los Santos
 Job: Brief Job Description Make events at least two times per quarter. The goal is
to get people to come out, have people meet and get to know each other,
enjoy, and be involved with NSCS activities. Two requirements include creativity
and the ability to work independently.
 Time commitment: If you are proactive about it, the time commitment should
not be too bad. Say about thirthy minutes to an hour a day, just planning ahead
of time.
 Most Memorable Experience: Overall, it has been a learning experience. I think
one thing that would have been helpful is a group just focused on socials, like
an event planning committee. It is hard working on this kind of thing alone,
especially if you have little experience with working on events alone. (I used to
plan things in Revelle but it was always a group effort, never just me in charge of
formulating the ideas.) So, I want to genuinely say that the most memorable
experience for me has been how hard it has been to find motivation and
resources to really work on the task I described in the job description slide. Just
as memorable are the actual socials, all of which turned out really well.
