Campus Champion

Senior Brittnie Daugherty has made her mark across campus. The Phi Kappa Phi honor society member manages the Leadership House and serves as a COR 101 teaching assistant. But the sociology/criminology major may be best known for her work as president of the Student Activities Board, the club that brings concerts and other high-profile entertainment to campus. It’s one of the College’s largest student clubs both in operating budget and executive board members. But Brittnie thrives on the challenges, and she’s excited about what’s ahead. That includes alternative pop band Echosmith, who recently committed to a special Cortaca Jug concert on Saturday, Nov. 14.
