GammaSAID Student Co-Chair Spotlight
Alexis Isom, Eta Chapter
|
|
Hi everyone! It’s Alexis Isom, one of your two GammaSAID Student Co-chairs. I’m sure you’ve seen Katherine Ross and me around, but
do you really know what we do or what resources GammaSAID can offer
? It’s okay to say no, because lucky for you I’m here to tell you! We serve as a resource for YOU! Yes, you reading this post right now! *waves hello through newsletter*
Need a D&I Officer?
I can help with that.
Want ideas on D&I events to host through your chapter? Are you trying to grow and diversify your chapter?
I can help! Have a pressing question you want to ask a C-Suite executive? I can help with that, too! Ultimately, I am here to lend a listening ear and a helping hand and am willing and excited to assist in any way I can. Unfortunately, my time as your GammaSAID Co-chair will soon come to an end because GIS produces scholars, and I am graduating this year. So, if this position sounds like something you would be interested in, please reach out for that as well! I look forward to chatting with you all soon! Bye
👋🏾
