      B.A. History, concentration in Modern Europe 3.7 GPA

      Activities and Societies: Model United Nations, National Honor Society, K College Humans vs. Zombies (co-founder) ____________I decided on Kalamazoo College because it was just far enough away from home, and because they gave me a lot of free money.

I was also the RA you could go to if you needed help—with your roommate, with your classes, with anything. And, yeah, I was the RA who handed out free condoms and busted kids for underage drinking. But I don't really talk about that part on LinkedIn.
