· Will Morales- Vice President
· Brice Benge- Treasurer
· Jamie Gordon- Secretary
· Anna Curby- Reporter
· Cade Deines- Professional Director
· Reece Wells- Social Director
According to AES Club president, Kevin Coburn, the club’s aim this year is to “empower students both professionally and academically through service, spiritual community, and relationships.”
Anna Curby, AES Club reporter, says she is excited to get to capture club events in pictures and hopes to gain more “campus-wide recognition” for the club and department.
A few changes are in store for the AES Club this semester. One of those is the addition of Cade Deines in the new role of Professional Director. Cade’s role is to help members be successful in the classroom and the workplace.
The AES Club will also begin a partnership with the Ben Richey Boys’ Ranch this semester. This is an exciting opportunity to serve in our community and create a lasting relationship with a reputable organization. More »
