Hello! My name is Kaylie Ricks and I am a junior journalism major with a minor in digital media production and Spanish. I love being involved on Butler University\u2019s campus. Along with being the Vice President of Programming, I am also a Student Orientation Guide, a member of Order of Omega, Blue Key, Phi Eta Sigma National Honors Society, and Phi Sigma Iota Foreign Language Honor Society. I also just finished up my term as Event Chairman of my sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma.<\/p>\n
As Vice President of Programming, I am responsible for overseeing Butler\u2019s Program Board. Program Board is broken up into 10 committees that put on various events throughout the year. These boards include Special Events, Concerts, Dance Marathon, Spring Sports, Podium Expressions, Out n\u2019 About, Late Nite, Recreation, Coffeehouse, and Films. All of the boards are responsible for different events.<\/p>\n
Special Events<\/strong> organizes Homecoming and Exam Jam.<\/p>\n Concerts\u2019<\/strong> biggest event is our annual ButlerPalooza.<\/p>\n Dance Marathon<\/strong> hosts a huge event every spring that works directly with Riley\u2019s Children Hospital.<\/p>\n Spring Sports<\/strong> puts on their event \u201cSpring Sports,\u201d a 12 hour event full of fun and friendly athletic competition.<\/p>\n Podium Expressions<\/strong> brings speakers to campus to educate the Butler community. This year, they are bringing Laverne Cox from Orange is the New Black. Last year, they brought Josh Radnor, from How I Met Your Mother.<\/p>\n Out n\u2019 About<\/strong> takes Butler students out in Indianapolis for different activities, such as dinners at different Indy restaurants.<\/p>\n Late Nite<\/strong> committee hosts events between the hours of 9 p.m. and 1 a.m. on and off campus.<\/p>\n Recreation<\/strong> brings students farther from campus to participate in activities students wouldn\u2019t normally get the opportunity to do. Last year, Recreation took student zip-lining and cave diving.<\/p>\n Coffeehouse <\/strong>hosts concerts in Starbucks monthly.<\/p>\n Films <\/strong>host brand new movies every Friday and Saturday in Jordan Hall 141.<\/p>\n I am so excited to be able to work with these boards and to better Butler University\u2019s programs! I have been involved on Program Board for two years! I have been a co-chair for Late Nite committee and Out n\u2019 About. My goal is for students here at Butler to always have a program to attend! I have loved my time on Program Board and I want every student to get the experience I have been able to have!<\/p>\n
