HANNAH (sitting) WITH STUDENT SENATE LEADERSHIP.

University of Kansas student body president Hannah Bolton is used to being a part of things. She describes her hometown of St. Libory, Neb., as “really, really small,” and her graduating class at a Catholic high school in nearby Grand Island had only 40 students.As a result, she participated in every activity, from volleyball, basketball and tennis to student council and band. So of course she plunged into campus life upon arriving at KU in 2009. Bolton joined the Chi Omega sorority and began exploring other organizations. Then student government caught her eye.

As a sophomore, Bolton was co-founder and co-director of The Big Event, which recruited thousands of KU students, faculty and staff to assist with neighborhood service projects throughout Lawrence. She was also elected to student senate, but gave up her seat after being appointed chief of staff for
the student senate executive staff.

Bolton held that position throughout her junior year, and then ran for student body president.

“Once I started getting involved, the ball just kept rolling,” says Bolton, who’s now a 22-year-old senior majoring in business management and leadership.

Bolton says she’s only the fifth woman to hold the job in the more than 100-year history of student government at KU, but gender doesn’t matter. She’s focused on her platform of 11 goals, including improving grading consistency within academic departments, that she says will benefit all students.

Can students really change how the university operates? Absolutely, says Bolton, who wants to work in higher education and administration after graduation.

Participating in campus and other organizations is essential if students want to help shape their educational environment and positively impact the surrounding community.

“Service days like The Big Event show the Lawrence community that students do care,” Bolton says. “Students enjoy giving back.”

    I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I stumbled across this during my hunt for something concerning this.

    Thanks for the a new challenge you have uncovered in your text. One thing I want to reply to is that FSBO relationships are built eventually. By presenting yourself to the owners the first weekend their FSBO is actually announced, before the masses start out calling on Mon, you build a good association. By giving them tools, educational components, free records, and forms, you become a strong ally. By using a personal fascination with them and also their circumstances, you produce a solid interconnection that, in many cases, pays off if the owners opt with an agent they know and trust – preferably you actually.

    Thanks for your publication on the travel industry. We would also like to include that if you are one senior thinking of traveling, it can be absolutely vital that you buy traveling insurance for golden-agers. When traveling, elderly people are at biggest risk of having a health-related emergency. Getting the right insurance plan package in your age group can look after your health and give you peace of mind.
