My KAUSE is to live my life in the knowledge that I serve a purpose. My KAUSE is for you and every person who suffers under conditions that need not be. Apathy is poison. We can die a thousand times without having lived at all. Thanks William Wallace. Let’s get down to business.

My KAUSE is to revolutionize. I was never involved with any organization when I was younger and finally this year, I realized that being a part of KAUSE, I can make a difference among my friends and in my college campus. I definitely think that even my involvement in KAUSE as the programming director this year has built up my character as a person. I am excited for the upcoming events for KAUSE, and I hope to see more people get involved.
