Honors Council Members 2008-09

I'm Kaci Alexander, the Social Chair for the Off-campus Honors Council and I am a pre-med junior majoring in Biology. In order to get involved in Bloomington, I am currently a volunteer in the Out-Patient Surgery Clinic in the Bloomington Hospital, and I am soon-to-be employed as a produce lady at Kroger. I have worked on a melon farm in my hometown for the past seven years, where the owners now feel like family to me. In the future, I plan to go to medical school and be either a military doctor or a missions-type doctor in remote areas of the world. Responsibilities: opportunities for events (Large and small) asap and continue looking for opportunities until the executive board votes/choose one large and one small event for November, January, February, March, and April. The philanthropy committee should research and explain event ideas to the executive board. The executive board will then vote on their favorite event from the pool of ideas created by the 4 committees. Once chosen, the philanthropy committee will submit a written plan for their event to the President, Vice President, and CLs. The President then will delegate tasks that are outlined in committee write-up. However the majority of the implementation process for a philanthropy event will be up to philanthropy committee members.
I'm Laura Hackman (lahackma@indiana.edu)and I'm the President of the Off-campus Honors Council. I am from Carmel, Indiana and am majoring in information process management and international business with a minor in Spanish.

My name is Michael Hart, and I am currently a sophomore majoring in marketing, international business, and Spanish. This is my second year being involved with the HHCA, but my first year as an off-campus coordinator for the council. I have lived in Zionsville, Indiana for my entire life and attended Zionsville Community High School. Other than HHCA, I am also involved in other community activities and extracurricular such as HSA, IU Auditorium Usher Program, and the International Business Club. My ultimate dream job would be writing for National Geographic, but since this will likely never happen, I am currently pursuing a career in international business. Hopefully I will find a position that allows me to travel extensively and utilize my foreign language skills. Feel free to contact me anytime at: mbhart@indiana.edu
