Student Profile

DePauw Student Government (DSG) has given me the opportunity to participate in many facets of a small democracy! My most beneficial experience with DSG certainly has been sitting on the Allocations Board. Controlling the flow of over $300,000 a year is a unique experience that has taught me how to maintain an unwavering and unbiased stance in a professional atmosphere.
