Hi! I'm Kathy Zhang. I am sophomore at Brown, and I am running for RSVP chair.

I have been an active member of RSVP for the last 2 years. Currently, I am the Hunger and Homelessness committee chair for RSVP. Being committee chair has allowed me to provide convenient yet meaningful volunteer opportunities for Rice students in an area that I am particularly passionate about. I am also the Agency Coordinator for the 2008 Spring Outreach Day (March 29), which matches students with one time volunteer opportunities with various service organizations. My main duties are to contact agencies and to assign students to the most appropriate and interesting opportunity for them. This position has allowed me to understand what types of volunteering Rice students are excited about, which will help me improve the volunteer opportunities RSVP can provide in the coming year.

I want to see more Rice student participate in volunteer work and advocacy. I also want RSVP to work more with other organizations on campus. I truly believe that Rice students can really make an impact in the Houston community. I hope you will allow me to take Rice in that direction, so please vote for me.
