Spring semester has arrived! With
this spring semester, there have been some changes within the SOURCE Special
Events team. The previous Director of Special Events, Shea Mason graduated in December
2011. With Mason’s graduation, the SOURCE welcomes the new Director of Special
Events, Tyler Cohen. Cohen is a sophomore from Franklin, Tennessee majoring in
MIS (Management Information Systems) with a minor in Computer Science. As
Director of Special Events, Cohen oversees all event
planning, works with the Office of Student Involvement and Leadership on
events, collaborates with student organizations, and helps with the SOURCE
physical space.
Cohen’s main goal for this year is
for student organizations’ voices and opinions to become louder and more
recognized on campus. Cohen said one of his most proud moments with the SOURCE
is being apart of Spring Get On Board Day. He said that Spring Get On Board Day
takes a lot of hard work and planning and to be apart of it was one of his
favorites experiences with the SOURCE.
In addition to his role as Director
of Special Events, Cohen is also involved with the organization AIMS (Alabama
Information Management Society). When asked what Cohen’s favorite class at UA
was he said, “My favorite class was my English 215 Literature class. I enjoyed
reading classic British authors like Chaucer and Shakespeare. Plus, we brought
back the idea of forming our desks into a circle every day when we discussed.
Who wouldn’t enjoy that?”
After graduation, Cohen’s “dream
job” would be working for a company back home in Franklin but is open for
change and a new environment. Cohen said after graduation he would be ready to
start working and begin his life.
Cohen said some upcoming events
that the Special Events team is planning includes working on hosting an SGA
presidential debate, hosting new officer training for organizations and also
partnering with the athletic department to help sponsor an organization relay
race at Alabama’s home track meet.
If any of these events or if event
planning for the SOURCE sounds like something you’d be interested in, please
send Cohen an email at tmcohen@crimson.ua.edu.
Cohen said he is looking for team members to volunteer and help out!
