Student Life
Segment #7 from University of Idaho
Transcript
Okay, everyone, let’s meet Tanner. He’s a junior, a member of Beta Theta Pi, the Associated Students University of Idaho president, and a double major in philosophy and political science. He’s gonna tell us just how easy it is to find your crowd at the U of I. You’re up, Tanner.
– What’s up, guys? For as long as I can remember, I’ve always valued involvement within my community. In high school, I started my own club, and since coming to the University of Idaho, I’ve been highly involved in student life on campus. I became a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity of the Gamma Gamma chapter. In Beta, I instantly connected with my fraternity brothers. Shortly after, I became an ASUI senator, during which I had the opportunity to connect with students from all across campus. It was at this time when I truly fell in love with the amazing community here. I grew passionate about student involvement and wanted to help other students find their home here at the University of Idaho just as I did. So I ran for ASUI president to promote the student experience here at the University of Idaho. At U of I, there are limitless opportunities to get involved on campus. We have a great intramural sports system and rec center, awesome college traditions, and all first year students live on campus, making it easier to attend evening Vandal Entertainment activities. There are over 200 clubs and student organizations here. You can volunteer off campus. We also have a fantastic Greek system that has shown dedication to uplifting students, and is routinely involved within the community. Earning a degree from U of I is much more than another box check before going on to a career. It’s about the experience you had during your four years here. I know this because getting involved is what made Moscow my home way from home. That’s my story. Back to you, Alex.
– Wow, Tanner. Over 200 clubs and organizations any student could get involved with. That is amazing. I’m glad to hear there are so many options to explore. No wonder Moscow became your home away from home. It’s amazing. Thanks again.
