Why do you think people should apply for this position?
I think people should apply for this position so they can learn leadership skills, connect with their peers, and contribute to their community. I also think people who are more introverted but want to get out there should definitely apply for this position because you meet so many amazing people and lifetime friends.
Any tips or advice for anyone interested in joining CAVE?
Some tips I have for anyone interested in joining CAVE is to choose a program you'll enjoy, make sure you have time in your schedule, and connect with staff! I would also suggest being yourself and putting yourself out there. CAVE will easily bring you out of your shell!
Why did you choose to accept or apply for this position?
I applied for this position so I could continue to contribute to my community and be a part of the CAVE staff! My older sister has been apart of CAVE since she started at Chico State in 2019 and I had only ever heard amazing things about CAVE. So when I started here I wanted to join CAVE because she is my biggest role model and I wanted to do something meaningful with my time in college!
