Meet the Board: Amy Kerschner, Student Affairs

For the next several of weeks on the OBCLAA Blog, we will be introducing OBCLAA's 2013-2014 Board. As we introduce the leadership of the Alumni Association, you will catch a glimpse of the goals we hope to see accomplished this year. It is our hope that something you will read here will give you an idea for how YOU can get involved. Please feel free to post a reply or contact individual Board members. 

Amy had the unique opportunity to graduate with her dad in the class of 2008B. Having already mentored several Baby Bar classes and served as an upper-class mentor for first-, second-, and third-year classes, Amy looks forward to more mentorship opportunities now as an alumnus. Amy and her sister, Katie, a fourth-year student in OBCL, are co-founding a chapter of YWA (Young Women for America). YWA, a project of Concerned Women for America, was specifically designed for high school and college students and will be open to interested OBCL students.

When Amy is not mentoring students or supporting students enrolled in the family-owned American Water College, where they train water and wastewater operators, she enjoys spending time with her family, reading, music, and politics. She lives with her family in Lancaster, California. 

As the chairwoman of the Student Affairs Committee, Amy will work closely with the Teacher Assistants and Student Liaison “to ensure that first year and Baby Bar students receive the information and foundational skills they need to succeed in the Oak Brook Journey.” If you would like to help in this endeavor or have any suggestions on how the alumni can better serve and encourage current students, please contact Amy at amy.kerschner@gmail.com.
