It was actually one of the reasons I wanted to be a K Fam Chair so that I can help run this event and make students have a smooth transition from high school to college by giving them all the information they need to strive."

"My favorite part about the 2015-2016 term was when Fundraising hosted Mr. CKI. There were a variety of different contestants from other schools, the games were well thought out, the transitions between the activities went smoothly, and the fact that this was such a huge event to plan out showed that this was no easy task. I thought it was amazing that our Fundraisers were able to organize this successful event and I thought it was awesome seeing all of the CKI members come out to efficiently help with everything from props, decorations, dancing, games, prizes, talent acts, and more!"

On the 2015 – 2016 term: "There are tons of service opportunities throughout the term, not only during the school weeks but also during our breaks. I loved being able to chair the Operation Santa Claus service event during winter break. We helped organize gifts to be distributed to Orange County's underprivileged children, homeless families, the frail elderly, foster care youth and disabled adults.
