Coleman helps students travel on breaks, study abroad and take trips back home. One of the perks of the job is being able to talk with many different students everyday.

SPEAKER Political writer to speak about reforming the GOP
Ryan Sager, columnist for the New York Post and blogger for RealClearPolitics.com, will speak at 7:30 tonight at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics.
Sager will discuss his new book, "The Elephant in the Room: Evangelicals, Libertarians and the Battle to Control the Republican Party." In the book, Sager argues the GOP has lost its way.
Bill Lacy, director of the Institute, said Sager's lecture is a good wrap-up to the midterm elections because of the gains the Democratic Party made in the race.
Lacy said Sager suggested that the party return to the Ronald Reagan tradition, which was more tolerant of different points of view, but maintained conservative principles.
A book signing will follow the event. It is free and open to the public.
