Meet our 2012-2013 Executive Board:
President: Logan Cawley
Major: Biology
Year: Senior
Hometown: New Hope, PA
As President, it is my responsibility to act as the chief representative for the Lion Ambassadors, while also providing a strong sense of unity and morale to the organization as a whole. I am also accountable for the supervision and administration of our constitution, strategic plan, and membership process.
What does being a Lion Ambassador mean to you? While being a Lion Ambassadors does in fact include the ability to walk backwards while giving tours of campus and having an ardent passion for Penn State, it more importantly means having the desire to learn. There nothing I enjoy more than giving a tour to a group of alumni who have not visited campus in years. Even though I am able to teach them about our new Penn State traditions and facilities, they are always able to impart their Penn State wisdom onto me. I love to learn all about what this university was like when they were students.
Favorite Flavor of Creamery Ice Cream: Arboretum Breeze
Favorite Location on Campus: On top of the Pattee and Paterno Library stairs that overlook the Pattee Mall.
