Boards/Commissions applied for:
Arts Commission
Please explain how your background, education and experience is relevant to this board
I am applying for the Student Liaison position, where I hope to represent the UNC student body. I
am currently a rising Senior at UNC, majoring in English and minoring in Studio Art and
Advertising. I previously worked at Morrison Art Studio, where I was able to help make the arts
more accessible to the UNC community. I also am involved with SAMA, the Studio Art Major
Association. While I was in high school, I also served as a student representative for my local
community s Friend s of the Library Board, so I also have experience as a student liaison.
Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board
I would like to serve on this board to help UNC students get more involved with the arts and
inform the county of what is happening in the arts community on campus. While I worked for
Morrison Arts Studio and Arts Everywhere, I was able to learn about the arts scene here at UNC
and I would love to serve on this board and expand on the artistic community that already exists
on campus. Many arts organizations don t get coverage or funding and I hope to raise more
awareness about the artistic culture at UNC.

campus that the Arts Commission might otherwise not be aware of. I have connections to the
literary arts and visual arts communities here on campus and I would love to share these
