During my term as President, the organization faced several hurdles. One of the most challenging hurdles was that of the pandemic - Covid 19. Due to the pandemic, there were federal, state as well as local restrictions which prevented in-person events and meetings. Due to this, we had to move to an entirely remote presence, which made holding events a challenge.
As the effects of the pandemic lessened gradually, we began meeting in person, as well as holding in-person events with the necessary precautions.
All the events required coordination between organization members, university staff, university police, and community members of the Greater Wichita area. Some of the events also saw attendees from nearby cities and towns such as Kansas City, Hutchinson, Coffeyville, and Salina.
