Meet the E-town E-team

The Elizabethtown College Social Media Street Team, the E-team, is a group of social media--savvy students--armed with smartphones--that promotes campus events and initiatives. The E-team was established in the spring of 2012; the first team members were selected for the remainder of the 2011-2012 academic year and will continue their service in the 2012-2013 academic year. Additional openings will be advertised in fall of 2012 as well--stay tuned!

Look for the E-team on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Foursquare and, of course, on campus!

Alexa is a mass communications major. But her natural residence is good old Reading, Pa. Alexa is excited to be a part of the Elizabethtown College E-team and cannot wait to see what becomes of this new job! Alexa also is the station manager of ECTV-40, E-town's TV station, and she makes all of the Jay Flix the Office of Student Activities plays before every movie shown on campus. She has interned at ABC in Harrisburg and for The Rachael Ray Show. Her favorite hobby is traveling; she's been to almost every state and hopes to make to it every continent in her lifetime. When she is not traveling, you can find her staring at cool and interesting things, going for long beach walks, discovering remarkable items and learning new facts. She also has a great love for The Walt Disney Co. and hopes to someday grow up to become a princess. If that fails, she will have to make do with producing and editing videos or movies to become the next James Cameron. Alexa's lifetime goal is to help make a difference in the world--no matter how big or small.

Hello, I’m Taylor Ryan! I’m a sophomore with a double major in Computer Science and Mathematics. Like a typical geek, I enjoy playing video games, programming and watching some Big Bang Theory. I’m also attached at the hip to my iPhone and don’t go anywhere without it. Anywhere. I have even made a game for iPhones and iPod Touches, called Speedy Wheels. In my spare time, I also like to play volleyball, and I’m a member of the Men’s Club Volleyball team. I wanted to join the Street Team because I enjoy tweeting and using other social media. Plus, I have a smartphone (like almost everyone else) and love taking pictures of campus and sharing them with others. I’m excited to share the many events and experiences that E-town has to offer and increase student interest in these events.
