Team Member - Team GCC

I consider this one of my most unique and fulfilling learning experience. A team of 5 Grove City College students, including myself, rode our bicycles 3,700 miles across the United States coast to coast as a way to raise money for a needs-based diversity scholarship. We stayed with GCC alumni along the way reconnecting them to the college. We also were able to promote the college across the way by being highlighted in over 30 newspapers as well as various radio and television stations including an NBC and CBS affiliates. We were able to more than double our original goal and raised over $50,000 endowing the scholarship for years to come. The process helped to develop my skills in leadership, negotiating, presenting, planning, organization, and perseverance.
