The Chairs Speak: Alumni Business Council

Casey Sherley, 2011-2012 Alumni Business Council Co-Chair

I realized coming into school that the group I would become a part of would inevitably have a major impact on my direction in college and the person I would become.  As this was truly the case, I couldn’t be more satisfied with my choice to become a part of the Undergraduate Business Council.  It’s a group that takes pride in what it does.  We organize and host events for McCombs’ students, while also serving as its voice within the Senate of College Coucils.

More than this, it’s a group of individuals who have high expectations of themselves and the work they do.   As a member of UBC, you learn firsthand how contagious a group dedicated to excellence can be.  When you feel like you’re doing well enough or working hard enough on UBC, you’re always going to see someone else working harder.  In my experience, it’s always motivated me to work harder than I may have, and raised my academic and professional expectations for myself.  Not to mention this all takes place amidst a group that laughs and has a good time together.  I’ve always enjoyed an atmosphere of excellence that I can take pride in, and this atmosphere, the collection of people itself, is what I love most about council.

This year I’ll be serving as one of two Alumni Business Council Chairs.  In this role, I hope to inspire others on council and impart valuable insight from former members as former ABC Chairs have done in the past.  I also look forward to the challenge of raising the bar, as it is already quite high.
