TRIO Devils

One of my internship projects is to help grow the student organization, TRIO Devils. This student organization is an extension of ASU TRIO Downtown-SSS and the purpose of the organization is to engage TRIO students, provide them with an opportunity to be involved on campus, and to create a family environment within the TRIO office. Recently, I just became the organization's treasurer and I am learning about asking for in-kind donations from businesses, how to do fundraising, and how to request funds from student government. I am excited to part of this student organization and love its purpose.

I never realized the skills students gain from taking on leadership roles in student clubs. I have only been active in student clubs in high school and I feel it was simpler to be a leader in those organizations. At ASU, students are really responsible with how they promote, fund, and operate the organization or club they are members of. I have also been offered a position as a policy member of the policy team with Undergraduate Student Government. I transferred to ASU last year and I am glad that I will be more involved on campus this coming school year.
