Outreach Coordinator - Amanda White
Amanda White is a Senior Business Marketing and Psychology double major. This year, Amanda is very excited to be serving as the Business Diversity and Leadership Alliance student coordinator. She first joined BDLA to learn more about social justice issues and find her home within the CSU College of Business. She never knew she would find such a tight knit group with such strong values. Amanda’s favorite part of BDLA is the relationships she has formed with all of the members and the strive for positive change that each member holds. Outside of BDLA, Amanda enjoys spending time with her family and friends, biking, and trying many of the wonderful restaurants of Fort Collins. Amanda is also involved in Alpha Kappa Psi, a co-ed business fraternity, and is a mentor in the College of Business Mentoring Program. This summer, Amanda worked as the student coordinator for the College of Business Ram Welcome orientation and is looking forward to continuing to increase the camaraderie within the College of Business throughout the year.
