Volunteer

Lake Superior College Computer Club

The Lake Superior College Computer Club was a great volunteer opportunity. I initially started my membership back in 2011 with a reboot of the Computer Club. As a Junior member, I did what I could to take part in our events such as Computer Club sponsored computer repair days, LAN parties, CIS student aid and much more. Throughout the course of my education I continued to be a member and supporter of computer club. I eventually worked my way up to the Secretary position and then to Presidential status. After having to cut back on my time being on campus, I passed on the reigns to the next generation of leaders. It was a honor and a pleasure to be a part of the LSC Computer Club.
