Recruitment Committee:
I worked closely with the Recruitment Chair to develop and produce a recruitment video. I also communicated and engaged with potential new members and discussed with other committee members whether I believed they would be a good fit for the organization.

Honor Board:
I familiarized myself with the Delta Tau Delta Iota Epsilon Bylaws. My responsibility as a board member was to interpret and investigate all reports where there was a potential violation of the bylaws and to determine the adequate outcome to pursue.
