Favorite ÇéÉ«¿Õ¼ä Memory:ÌýMarathon Monday is so unique to the ÇéÉ«¿Õ¼ä Community and is such a fun day! Cheers to the pink bar! It signals the start of warmer weather and being able to enjoy being outside on ÇéÉ«¿Õ¼ä's beautiful campus.

Favorite ÇéÉ«¿Õ¼ä Memory:ÌýTraveling to South Bend in November 2002 to watch ÇéÉ«¿Õ¼ä knock off undefeated, #4 Notre Dame in football.

Why I got involved:Ìý I moved here following grad school in 2009 and didn't know anyone. I found the Chicago Chapter to be a great resource for networking.

I eventually got asked to be on the leadership board where I worked as the social chair, established the Instagram account, and ran game watches for a while. I was asked to become co-chair of the chapter in 2020.
