Facilitators to be chosen for Aggie Blue Leadership Conference

JCOM 1130/ Section 2

University officials are looking to choose facilitators within the coming week for the Aggie B.L.U.E Leadership Conference that will be held this fall.

“Aggie B.L.U.E has many purposes. First and foremost it is an opportunity to train future leaders,” said Utah State University student body president Trevor Olsen.

The event is completely organized and run by student leaders who have the desire to help create a fun and inviting atmosphere for newly admitted freshmen into the university.

Many times clubs and organizations are looking to recruit strong leaders and often times they turn to the chosen facilitators of the conferences “to recruit from among the best,” Olsen said.

Facilitators come from a wide variety of majors, organizations, ages, and backgrounds. Olsen encourages all interested in the facilitator position to apply.

“Participation will jump-start a future student leaders involvement and networking experience at Utah State,” Olsen said.

In order to apply for the position, students must have a minimum of a 2.5 cumulative GPA and be able to attend all mandatory meetings.

“Participating as a facilitator this past fall was such a rewarding experience,” said Rachael Fresh, a USU sophomore and Aggie B.L.U.E facilitator. “I have developed deep relationships with the freshmen I helped and I have received the opportunity to see them conquer so many wonderful things at Utah State."

Applications can be found in room 326 of the Taggart Student Center and are due tomorrow. For more information on the application process, contact Trevor Olsen at t.sean.olsen@aggiemail.usu.edu.
