Kelsey Spaulding, Student Senator
I recently had the opportunity of
speaking with Kelsey Spaulding the
current student senator for The College
of Applied Science and Technology
(COAST). She will hold the same
position next year. I was immediately
impressed by the energy and confidence
she exuded as we introduced
ourselves and walked through the
Shepherd Union Building towards a
more subdued area.
We settled on the walkway traversing the main common area of the student center. It was early in the afternoon, and many of the students had departed for home or work, yet a steady stream of people still meandered and socialized around us. I discovered Kelsey is an interior design major one year away from graduation and that she has a deep passion for the subject. In fact, the only thing she had a deeper passion for than interior design was Weber State University, a passion which became clearer and clearer with each subsequent question.
Having been raised in Ogden and
with both parents having attended
Weber she has always been involved
even as a young girl. Attending sporting
events and various on-campus
activities throughout the
years have instilled an undying
sense of pride in Kelsey
for Weber.
There was no doubt in her mind after high school where she would attend college, and the Student Involvement and Leadership organization provided the perfect outlet for her boundless passion for Weber. Her primary objective for being a student senator for COAST is to bring all the different departments and their resources together to increase collaboration and networking opportunities. She believes that through this unification, everyone will produce better products and increase their opportunities in the professional world.
Kelsey’s idea of collaboration and networking was embodied by her campaign for student senator during which she gained assistance by outsourcing for the creation of her posters and video. “I would never have been able to do it all on my own. I am so thankful for all the people who helped with my campaign,” said Kelsey.
