About the Author

My name is Joshua Samet, and I am a sophomore at UCF studying Biomedical Sciences and Psychology. I am currently an Events Director for Girl Up, which is the foundation for my project. I would like to thank my fellow officers for their support throughout the semester and the community members who made our events successful.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

I spent the past semester serving as an Events Director for the Girl Up chapter at UCF. In this role, I had to work with my fellow officers to plan and execute events to help work towards helping the women in our community as well as promoting awareness in the UCF community. Through this service experience, I learned how to better collaborate with fellow leaders, communicate with other community members, and be a more authentic and effective leader. Furthermore, I learned the importance of having a common purpose and how to use that to bring the community together when volunteering.
