Well, I have returned from the convention, and needless to say is was pretty amazing. Here are some of the highlights:

-UIndy was one of the 6 Indiana universities represented at the convention, including; Norte Dame, IU-South Bend, Purdue, Ball State, UIndy, and IU-Bloomington, with a total of 10 participants! It was the largest Indiana delegation in recent memory.
-Katie Naranjo was re-elected as CDA President, while Jamarr Brown was elected as CDA Vice-President.
-The State Federation of the College Democrats of Indiana won the Rising Star State Federation of the Year award!
-Over 300 College Democrats participated in the Convention, with over 120 Chapters represented, and 38 State Federations were in attendance.
-I met with Congressman Carson and he said that he will come as a guest speaker to UIndy this year!

I hope that at the 2010 CDA National Convention, more UIndy students will attend. It is a good learning experience and an execellent resource to network with fellow Democrats from across the nation.

Later this week, I will post more news and an update on details regarding our involvement in Welcome Week activities. Anyone who would like to volunteer can email us at our new club email address: uindycollegedemocrats@gmail.com.
