For those of you who don’t know, Relay For Life is a huge, 24 hour fundraising/awareness event for the American Cancer Society. I’m a big part of USC’s Relay, having been President of USC Colleges Against Cancer Junior year after two years as the Team Recruitment Co-Chair.

I am writing this blog at 5:30 in the morning, killing time between games at Relay For Life itself, so I hope you enjoy it! I think one of the best ways to describe this event may just be to let twitter feed it to you and add some pictures that didn’t make it.

As you can see, we had an exciting and busy schedule planned for the whole event!

And we’re still going strong! We have a few more activities planned before the 24 hours are up, then I’m gonna sleep a LONG time.

I'm I'm a junior majoring in Biomedical Engineering (Electrical) at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, with a minor in Video Game Design & Management. ----- I am from Hartland, WI, which is a nice little town that is a lot different from Los Angeles! ----- Follow me on Twitter: @IAmWolfman ----- I am the chair of mentoring programs for the Associated Students of Biomedical Engineering (viterbistudents.usc.edu/asbme/), and I am the president of Colleges Against Cancer (trojancac.org), which is the club that plans USC's Relay For Life, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. That basically sums up how I spend most of my free time, haha. Other than that, I love to play video games (which counts as productivity now that I have the minor!) and I am specifically fond of Dance Dance Revolution and I always have a standing open dance battle with anyone, anytime. Fun and nerdy, that's my style.
