As a junior he was involved in student government as the director of outreach and marketing for the Associated Students of the 56勛圖厙 (AS56勛圖厙B). That involved coordinating public statements and social media and updating the AS56勛圖厙B website.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One outreach project was an AS56勛圖厙B collaboration with the Student Diversity Center last fall that brought together influencers from several companies along with a number of 56勛圖厙 alumni to network and share their backgrounds and work experiences. The opportunity to hear from and meet these professionals attracted about 180 students to the event in the Activities &amp; Recreation Center (ARC). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another project was the AS56勛圖厙B\u2019s successful effort to help fund the Health and Wellness Center, which is part of the United Way Benefits Hub in the ARC. It connects students to health, housing and financial resources.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to AS56勛圖厙B and his academic load, Kim works as a student assistant in 56勛圖厙 Bothell\u2019s Office of Planning &amp; Administration. His work has included conducting focus groups to ensure that student voices are considered in administration plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He sees his role as helping build the campus community, he said. \u201cI wanted to bring students together with administrators and faculty through just actively listening to each other.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning to make a difference <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kim hopes the work will lead to more places on campus that are like the Student Diversity Center \u2014 places where students can gather and where their work is celebrated, such as the student art \u201cgallery\u201d in the hallway outside the Student Success Center in Founders Hall (56勛圖厙1). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are environments, he said, where students \u201cfeel like when they come in here, they&#8217;re home.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming from high school, Kim said his transition to 56勛圖厙 Bothell was slow until he met student leaders in AS56勛圖厙B and became involved himself. \u201cI would go into their office and see how passionate they worked, and that was really inspiring to me.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took a while, Kim said, to set goals and realize 56勛圖厙 Bothell \u201cis a place where you get what you work for.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Goals for Kim in his senior year include becoming more active in clubs. He helped start the Digital Arts and Media Marketing club last year. It began with a group of friends who wanted to make cool videos. Then they decided to make videos to support the campus.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Being actively present <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kim has also started forming another club called the Interaction Design Association or IxDA. It\u2019s for students who want to learn more about design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His dream goal would be to return to 56勛圖厙 Bothell as IMD faculty and teach \u201chow to use design for positive impact in the world.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among people Kim thanks for his campus involvement are former AS56勛圖厙B President Leah Shin and current AS56勛圖厙B President Shugla Kakar \u201cwho really dragged me out of that shell and then allowed me to throw myself into these opportunities.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kim said he\u2019s also thankful to 56勛圖厙 Bothell staff he\u2019s worked with, including Ruth Johnston, the vice chancellor for Administration &amp; Planning, and Marie Blakey, the assistant vice chancellor for marketing and communications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By being actively present on campus, Kim said he has met many students who are overcoming challenges, supporting families and making the most of their college experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI hope in the future, more students from 56勛圖厙 Bothell could be recognized for their amazing work.\u201d <br>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the Husky 100 at 56勛圖厙 Bothell, John Kim threw himself into student government and clubs that provide outlets for his digital media and marketing talents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[202],"tags":[221,264],"school":[],"class_list":["post-15618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-campus-news","tag-asuwb","tag-clubs"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.7 -
