AUBOC Announces Committee Officers for 2012-2013

After the First General Assembly, members of AUB's Online Collaborative interested in becoming Officers of the club's committees were called for interviews. Those committees are as follows: Community Service, Event Planning/Workshops, Management/HR, Marketing/PR, and News Reporting. Interviewees presented their credentials and specified the committee they would like to become Officers of. The cabinet then selected the Officers based on criteria developed prior to the interviews. The results are as follows:

Alfred Naayem, yet another AUB freshman, is a tech enthusiast with great experience as a web developer and security specialist.
