Profile on SLC Vice President Emily Browning

     Working diligently on her computer in the Student Leadership Council (SLC) office is Emily Browning, the SLC Vice President for the 2013-2014 school year. From coordinating blood drives to overseeing by-laws, the LBCC Student Leadership Council VP is a very busy job.
     Browning initially applied for Legislative Affairs Director of the SLC, but was appointed to the Vice President position. She was hired by the outgoing SLC and Barb Horn, Student Life & Leadership Advisor. This year, the new President and Vice President will be filled through an election process. When asked if enough students know about SLC she responded "No, I think we're kind of one of the 'hidden secrets' on campus. With LBCC it's not the same culture as you see at OSU and other universities because often times people come to campus for class and then they leave." The Benton County native and Corvallis High School graduate will be handing over the Vice President responsibilities to someone else next term and will be transferring to Western Washington University (in Bellingham) and pursue her major of Secondary Education.
     Adelaine Carter, SLC Event Planner, said the thing she will miss most about Emily is the friendship that she has made with her. She added that Emily's skills complement others at SLC because "She is willing to listen to your opinion and give advice off of that and she is also very encouraging and can melt her ideas with yours."
