The Women’s Network, a national organization dedicated to connecting and supporting ambitious women, will launch a new chapter as a club at Stony Brook University this fall semester.
Maame-Esi Otoo is the only female on the Undergraduate Student Government’s seven-member Executive Council.
Otoo, a senior business major, is the vice president of Clubs and Organizations, and she “know[s] how to do the job.”
Now that we have chastised ourselves for another year of forgotten New Year’s plans, it is time to stop wallowing and start wondering what we will do from this point forward.
As students take their first steps into a new semester of college, they realize that socializing is a gradual, yet significant, process that can direct the course of their lives at Stony Brook University for the next four years or so. In the age of technological communication, we have never seen a greater emphasis placed on knowing what’s what and who’s who through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other forms of social media. Ask a typical student how he or she makes friends, and an immediate response will be: “Through Facebook.” In a mere decade, technology has taken the form of a medium through which we can share every moment of our lives as we experience them. Although Facebook offers networking opportunities, long-term problems remain hidden under a thick layer of status updates, likes, comments and tweets.
