BYU-Idaho Student Activities Leadership Profiles Long Promo

I don't think a lot of people realize how much

Student Actives really does on campus.

They help with the sports and social activities and

service activities, health and wellness, and outdoor

activities, and recreational, and talent shows.

What you don't see is how much planning, how much

preparation goes into it.

Getting involved will help your experience here.

(They're coming up and they're coming out,

we've got about 5 seconds).

Getting ready for the show took a lot of effort.

I need people that I could rely on so that the show

could happen.

My adviser game to me, and I needed help in the

Biggest Winner Program, so I became the

Biggest Winner Coordinator.

I love volunteering, I love being able to kind of get

behind the scenes and make things happen for the

other students.

I don't think people understand how much time we

put into making things just go.

Before the semester even started I was working with

my coordinator to get an assistant manager chosen

so we could start.

(Think of an idea that you would like to implement

for this semester's i-cover).

There's a lot of logistics, things I never really thought

of before.

"Hi, this is Kat Nepper, I'm calling to talk to

Karen Lancing,"

We need to find the way out of problems.

We need to find the solution.

"Let me know, I'm more than happy to kick you out of

the program, because I want people in here

that do care."

Leaders can't do everything by themselves.

"It's really helpful if you don't come to us agitated."

I was freaking out, I didn't know what to do,

because I didn't want to bring the campers

out to that.

"Habitat for Humanity has still not gotten back to me."

Then she'd actually text me and she's like "Chase I

want to quit."

When we start to act, that's when we see God's hand

within the program.

"Okay, starting right now, we've got two more minutes

on the bike."

That feeling of being somewhere that you're needed

is just wonderful.

Seeing their testimonies grow made it a big success.

The things I've learned here are things that are

applicable for every day life.

It's a place for you to gain life skills and a place

for you to gain friends and a place for you to

develop who you are.

Student Activities is enabling, incredible,

exhilarating, exciting, inspired.
