Time commitment required to be TSG president: “Twenty-four hours a day. As TSG president, I attend many meetings and events, and respond to questions, e-mails and voice mail during all hours of the day. With that said, I still play basketball three times a week just to show the younger students that I still have the best jump shot on campus.”
Time management secret: “My cell phone is my ultimate scheduler.”
Best part about being president of the Main Campus Program Board: “It was comparable to being the CEO of a small entertainment company. I learned how to understand a market and then plan events and marketing campaigns that would best serve that population. Because of that job, I would feel very comfortable as a Hollywood executive someday.”
Next stop: “I accepted a job in financial consulting with IBM. I’ll be based in the L.A. area, but I expect to be traveling all over the country. I will also serve as a campus organizer for Students for Barack Obama.”
What I’ll miss the most about Temple: “Everything. I really do love this school, the people and all of the opportunities available to Temple students. Temple has the best atmosphere for developing leadership abilities, and I do not take that for granted.”
Advice for Temple students: “Please challenge yourselves to do more: Read more books, do more pushups, develop public speaking skills — the best you can do today doesn’t have to be the best you can do tomorrow.”
Advice for the next TSG president: “Enjoy your summer, because that’s the only vacation you’ll have until you graduate. But Juan Galeano is like a little brother to me, so he already knows what to expect.” |
