Amanda Spalding

I currently serve as the student body vice president for Washington State University. I have many duties and responsibilities in this role such as chairing the student senate meetings and sitting  on numerous university boards. I was elected for this position in March of 2011 and will serve through May of 2012. More details regarding my duties and obligations for this position can be found on the above linked website as well as projects and tasks my administration is currently working on.

During the academic year of 2010-2011 I served as the Director of Academic Affairs for our executive administration. In this role I worked on numerous projects including the creation of a student academic affairs committee, general education requirement changes, and putting more money into the students pockets through encouraging faculty to participate in turning textbook orders in on time.

I was able to accompany our entire staff to Washington D.C. to attend the NACA East conference for student governments. I worked on both my leadership development and networking skills.

Beginning with my freshman year at Washington State University I became involved with student government. half way through my freshman year I was appointed the the student senate as a district 10 senator serving the students at large. The following year I was reelected as a district 10 senator where I also served in many other capacities such as the chair of the external affairs committee. In that role I was able to develop my event planning and communication skills.
