So why am I supporting the Campus Y? Young leaders are the future of this country. I think it is important to set the tone early for greatness.
For all the young leaders out there, I will say this: Your smile is your logo, your personality is your business card. And the way you make people feel is your trademark.
If I was starting my own program, I think it would involve students engaging with outside community members. I think it is important to take care of our neighbors around our campus.

I Wanna Fly
I'm supporting the Campus Y because I love children of all ages. And to see them smile. That’s number #1. Be patient, listen and be kind. And give them 100%.
When thinking about a Campus Y program that would be important to be, I think building friendship is a big part in today’s life. I would put together several games that require several kids to play instead of a game that is for individuals.

Don't be mean. Vote for Archie for Prom King.
As a young puppy myself, it is important to support the Campus Y because I want to see my fellow young leaders supported with the tools they need to succeed. Go leave your mark on this world like I do. Just don't do it like I do it.
As far as a new program goes, I would start a program that helps less fortunate families and enjoy a big happy Christmas.
Snag your tickets to the event and cheer me on!

More about Throwback Prom:
Throwback Prom is an annual event that brings together 200 attendees, including university leadership, current students, and alumni from Washington University, as well as connections across the St. Louis community. Through this event, we aim to foster a sense of community - picture all ages dancing to “Y.M.C.A.” together on the dance floor - while also benefiting the work of the Campus Y.
The Campus Y guides and advises 60 student leaders to coordinate 25 community volunteer programs engaging 800 volunteers in 25,000 hours of service each year. Three staff and the seven member Student Executive Council provide a sounding board for student leaders to ensure community engagement is well-informed and guided by the community engaged.
