College of Business- Making a Difference in the Community
Kaylan Hopson is a senior from Dallas, Texas majoring in Finance. Last April, Hopson was elected to the position of Secretary of Programming for the College of Business Council.
While serving as Secretary of Programming, Kaylan has had the opportunity to plan and execute a number of events, both college-related and philanthropic. For example, during the past two semester’s exam days, members of the College of Business council have passed out exam kits to students. These kits were filled with scantrons, pencils, waters, snacks, candy and even donuts. The College of Business Council has also hosted a “Town Hall Meeting” where students from the college can address their questions and concerns to College of Business Dean Paul Bobrowski.
The two main philanthropic events Hopson has helped plan and participate in are a school supplies drive and a blood drive. The school supplies drive took place in August, and supplies collected were donated to the Opelika Boys and Girls Club, Ms. Mary’s Daycare in Loachapoka and the Opelika Learning Center.The blood drive was held on Tuesday of last week and was very successful. Hopson said there were over 50 donors, and the blood was donated through Lifesouth to the East Alabama Medical Center.
