Katie Loyd
Between her duties as the Student Legislative Awareness Board co-director, Student Senate community affairs director and Kappa Kappa Gamma president, Katie Lovd rarely gets the chance to take walks or watch the Food Network, which are two of her favorite ways to relax. Staying busy isn't all bad said Lloyd, a Lawrence junior.
Loyd's busy schedule could keep anyone moving — not only is she involved outside of the classroom in extracurricular activities, but she also a double major in political science and sociology. Loyd said that during her years at the University she had learned that excelling both inside and outside of the classroom was the key to success in college.
"I do better when I'm busy," she said. "When I get the chance to sit down, I realize how tired I am. I have to keep going or I'll get over whelmed."

"Part of going to college is not just getting the degree but learning to be a citizen," she said. "Whatever you put in is what you get out. You should take away so much more than class time. Building relationships and professional experience
Loyd's own future was shaped by one of the many extracurricular experiences that she had at the University. Last year she was on the committee that selected Richard Lariviere to become the University's new provost, and through her behind-the-scenes look into higher education she found what she wanted to do with her life.
will really help in your future."
"Working with higher education and seeing what provoits do was absolutely fascinating," she said. "I plan to apply my theory of college life into my job, and I'll work with students to help them make the most of their college experience."
Loyd has made the most of her college experience by immersing herself in leadership roles. As the SLAB codirector, Loyd's duties include holding voter registration drives, playing host to speakers and participating in Civic Engagement Week with the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics in the fall. As the Student Senate community affairs director, Loyd attends weekly city commission meetings, where she is the University's student representative, and handles matters such as noise ordinances and
transportation. As the Kappa Kappa Gamma president, Loyd runs chair meetings, oversees 17 officers and approximately 150 collegiate members and has even been asked to "unclog the unstairs toilet" she said.
"It is such a big job every day."
Loved said.
"I take on a lot but I always make sure to follow through," she said. "I always finish, not always successfully, but I am always thorough. I'll always give it my best shot."
With her numerous responsibilities to the many groups that she is a part of, it helps that Loyd, in her own words, is diligent.
Before she walks down the hill -- her favorite University tradition Loyd hopes to be known as a student who made a difference at the University.
"I want to be known as someone who was able to do what she wanted, someone who funnelaed their passions into some sort of collective body," she said. "I want to be known as someone who made a little bit of a difference."
