1. Area of Responsibility I-VII
Area of Responsibility I
Area of Responsibility I focus on needs assessments and being able to gather information
using different sources. Performing Responsibility I, gathering information for a needs
assessment, finding and using other needs assessments then planning a program based on the
findings on the needs assessments are the beginning steps of building a program. A survey was
conducted and filled out by 61 Alpha Sigma Tau (AST) sorority new members. Questions on the
survey were focused on the individual; distance from home, relationship status, mental and
emotional health, and if there knew a location on campus where they can be provided help if
needed. Time management was also a question on the survey that concluded to be our main
focus. Once I gathered the results I analyzed the findings.
Area of Responsibility II
During my last two years of college I had the opportunity to plan a health education
program that focused on time management for the freshman new members of the AST. The
needs assessments conducted on the AST members showed time management skills lacked and
had negative impact on other aspects of their life. Our survey data was compared to articles and
the American College Health Association National College Health Assessment to compare
national data. We needed to get permission from the Greek advisor on campus before beginning
our program. Based on the needs assessments, our group developed our measurable and long-
term goals. Designing the intervention was a lot of fun but came with a work. I realized then
planning strategies and the intervention, there will always be changes made.

2. Area of Responsibility III
When “Tau Time” was being conducted the four of us ran the program on our own.
Before we could do this we had to take a certification exam on the proper ways to surveys and
implement on individuals. This certification is called Collaborative Institutional Training
Initiative (CITI). The participants were trained on how to use GoogleCalendar. They had to input
three different events; sorority event, work event and personal event, into their calendar then
sync the calendar to show on all devices. Once the presentation was over, the four of us observed
the participants input their events and helped with further explanation if needed. This activity
proved to be successful and had positive comments on the posttest.
Area of Responsibility IV
Our group depended a lot on our post-evaluation from the participants to be able to
evaluate the success of our program. Once we collected our evaluations from the participants we
reviewed the qualitative data to determine if the program addressed the population needs. The
instruments demonstrated were both valid and reliable. For the participants to pass the
GoogleCalendar activity, four out of the five boxes needed to be checked off by one the group
members once shown they can complete the task. They qualitative data did prove our program to
be successful along with applying the information they learned to their everyday life.
Area of Responsibility V
For Responsibility V, “Tau Time” teamed up with Kelly Jo Karnes who is the Director in
Kimmel. We collaborated with Kelly to get permission to work with our target group. As a group
we collective decided leadership rolls to help the program run as smooth as possible. My
leadership roles were editing, activity development and running the icebreaker activity at the

3. beginning of our program. As a board member on the Madison County Youth Forum held by the
Madison County Health Department, I held many responsibilities; creating, implementing and
analyzing the surveys, leading meetings, and sending out paperwork for program support and
collaboration. As a member of Eta Sigma Gamma (ESG), I was able to hold a board position,
President. As President, I was responsible for creating the agenda, running meetings and
collaborating with outside sources for volunteer and educational opportunities. All these
positions involved running the programs and organization on a budget. Analyzing the budget and
keeping track of expenses is a huge responsibility and needs much attention. ESG teamed up a
lot with the Madison County Health Department often to implement at health fairs around the
county.
Responsibility VI
Be The Match is the National Bone Marrow Registry and I am an active member of the
organization along with Be The Match on Campus where I hold the Vice President position. As
an organization we help education people on the importance of joining the registry and how
diversity is huge issue when it comes to the registry. The information provided to the possible
registries includes; health background screening, age, how to join, the responsibilities and what
will happen if they are a match. It is very important to press the importance of staying confident
and dedicated when going the registry. While having donor drives we have educational
pamphlets, patient and donor stories and videos. We go out into the community sharing Be The
Match story and goals. This past spring, we collaborated with Missouri State Softball team to
raise money for one of their players who was diagnosed with cancer. Showing support to for a
complete stranger brought two teams together along with two communities. Through ESG I have
gone into Health Education minor classes and the Physiology classrooms to advocate for the

4. Health Education Program at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. I explain the class load,
the opportunities that come along with the program, internship responsibilities and possible jobs
that alumni students have today.
Responsibility VII
To achieve Responsibility VII, our group “Tau Time” prioritized health information by
our needs statement provided by our target population, SIUE Sorority Freshmen. To be able to
reach everyone participate, our materials covered the different types of learning styles.
Communicating with our participants was key and needed to make sure our program was
effective. “Tau Time” provided information by PowerPoints, handouts, visuals, and hands on
activities. To advocate for our program, we advertised to one sorority on campus, AST. Once our
program was completed we provided extra resources about our profession along with contact
information. As an ESG member advocating was a huge part of my responsibility as President.
ESG does many outreach programs that need to be advertised to the community the program will
reach. During my internship at the Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois, advocating for programs was
a huge priority when planning a program. I put together pamphlets and registration packets to
send out to Girl Scouts for Summer Camp. All together I sent out over five thousand pamphlets
and registration packets.
