SCU Into the Wild is Santa Clara University's outdoor organization. It is the only fully student run outdoors organization. With 1,200 participants per year, we strive to act as a resource for the campus community by providing day hikes, weekend overnight camping trip and weeklong backpacking trips. It is our hope to motivate students to "Get Up, Get Out and Go Wild." • Transitioned a student run club into a student run organization serving 1,200 students annually• Organized and coordinated logistics for 65 trips per year ranging from a day to a week• Lead a team of 20 trip leaders and collaborated with school administration and other on campus groups
