This week's featured Campus Corps leader is Montana State's very own Alex Black. Alex decided that four years at MSU was just not enough and after graduating in May of 2011made the decision to stick around Bozeman's beautiful university and spend her fifth year on campus rallying students to server their community as the Campus Corps leader. If you are a resident of Bozeman or the surrounding area, there is a good chance that you have heard a lot about Alex lately or at least about the wildly successful "Can the Griz" food drive that she spearheaded. In this year's competition the Cats crushed UM's Grizzlies raising a record 58,000 lbs. of food for their local food bank! Much of this success can be attributed to Alex's efforts, as she worked diligently all fall to prepare for the big event and successfully implemented many new innovative ways to expand the drive.
Alex is originally from Idaho Falls, ID and if you ask her about how she feels about living in Montana, she will answer you with a long list of things that she loves about the state that she now calls home. Most of all she is thrilled to live in a town that offers an overwhelming number of outdoor recreation activities nearby, providing her plenty of opportunities to ski, bike, camp, and hike whenever she's not busy with her duties as a leader.
Having studied graphic design at MSU, Alex hopes to pursue a career in this field while also incorporating her love of working with the youth population. Alex envisions these two passions coming together in her career aspirations to one day be a freelance graphic designer primarily focusing on children's books and youth illustrated magazines. Alex is indeed a Bobcat through and through and the impressive amount of service she has done for the Bozeman area attests to how much she truly cares about her local community, which is so lucky to have her!
