This is
my first Blog for the Kelley School of Business. So it may be a good
idea to introduce myself and tell you a little about me. My name is
David and I am a sophomore pursuing a double major in accounting and
finance. I am involved in many different activities on campus and also
work part-time at a bank. Within Kelley I am involved in Kelley Student
Government and the investment club. I am a first generation college
student and the oldest of five kids. I currently have a 3.9 GPA and
working hard to maintain it. I live on campus as a RA (Residential
Assistant) which leads me to why I became a blogger!
As a RA
I noticed many theme houses in the apartments on campus. For example
Women in Science, Honors House, PU House, oooops I mean Purdue House,
International House, Herron School of Art, etc So I had the bright idea
why not a Kelley House? I talked about the idea for a while with a few
friends and then began to take some action. Within the first couple of
weeks of school (which would have been in August believe it or not) I
started talking to residents that live on campus (approx. 1000 students
live on campus) and created a survey to see if people would be
interested in living in a Kelley House. I then talked with Jaime
(academic advisor) and coincidentally she had the same idea.
After
some talk and gathering some data and a few meetings it all finally
paid off, because the Kelley House has been approved!!!!! I encourage
all students in Kelley or interested in Kelley to look into the option
of living on campus in the Kelley House with all business students. We
have lots and lots of exciting things planned. Stay tuned to hear more
information!
