During the month of September, Bryan's responsibilities lay not only with the college, but also the community. One of his main tasks during this month was as the president of SAAC which is an organization of student athletes that governs over all the other athletic organizations on campus. The ultimate goal of the organization is to create strong campus spirit and to create good communication between the different athletic teams. To encourage this sense of community, Bryan spearheaded an initial push by programming a massive tailgate at a soccer game. To make this tailgate a success, he met with several student life heads as well as the department of public safety to gain funds and a grill for the food. With this, he intends to start a tradition of having a campus gathering before every game. Another responsibility that Bryan was tasked with this month as president of SAAC was the creation of a new Greek community award. By doing so, he hopes to bring more greek life to support each of the games thereby strengthening the community and college. During this same month, Bryan also worked at least two to four hours a week as a student ambassador. "Bryan's willingness and friendliness to help has been a great boon to this college," said Tim Crowley, Dean of Admissions. This quote perfectly mirrors Bryan's ability to instantly give a sense of reassurance and sincerity that makes him such a valuable asset to the admissions department and the school. Not only does he give his all to these organizations, but at the same time he swims on our varsity men's swim team. As a swimmer, he also devotes around twenty hours a week to ensure that he stays in perfect condition and shape for the school's team. Within this month, he also swam at an intrasquad meet about two months before their season started. "He is the epitome of a swimmate and I would have no one else by my side," mentioned Randy Myers.

Yet even with everything that Bryan contributes to the college, he also continues to work in the community at the new Robinson Film Center at least five to six hours a week. As the Robinson Film Center Liaison, he constantly writes in the Conglomerate which is a local school newspaper to keep students up to date about what the events they are hosting at the Center. Not only does he intern at Film Center, but he also puts his artistic talents to use for both the college and the center frequently. Just recently, he produced sketches for publicity for the Centenary Activities Board's Freak week as well as publicity for homecoming week. He also juggles work, internship, and his other organizations with his professional writing communications major which he devotes several hours a week to creating a portfolio. Everything that Bryan does shows high levels of creativity and dedication. His willingness, friendliness, and leadership make him a necessary commodity for the school and for that he should be Student of the month of September.
