Sydney Evans, a freshman from Summerville, will succeed Tatiana Rosa as chair of the Council of Student Leaders (CSL) at Winthrop for 2009-10. As chair, Evans will serve as the student representative to Winthrop's Board of Trustees.
Members of CSL, a group comprised of chief office holders from major student associations and at-large members, elected Evans. Before her election, Evans worked as chair of CSL's Public Relations Committee and served as webmaster for the council's Web site.
Evans, a political science major and philosophy and religious studies minor, also participates in the Distinction in Leadership Program, volunteers for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and acts as the student representative for the Quality Enhancement Planning Committee.
