Introduction: Emily Canaday


Introduction


Hello! As you can see, my name is Emily. I am originally from Golden, Colorado and am currently a Senior studying Chemical Engineering (yes, I know I am crazy). I enjoy quite a few things..so please venture with me below to discover just a few of them!

Normal Selfie taken by me in Novermber 2014.

This is my best friend, Erin Lowdon. She is a red-headed beauty and visits me in Norman every semester. We went to high school together, but we actually didn't start truly hanging out until after we had graduated. Funny how that works sometimes. Anyways, she is one of the most caring and generous people I know and I am so thankful to have her as a friend.

I love, love, love little kids. This is Ashlyn and she is my friend’s daughter. She thinks I am super cool because I let her wear my tiara (see below for further information on that). We are supposed to have a sleepover sometime this semester and I am probably more excited than she is.

Okay, so this is the tiara I was talking about. I have sort of been over-involved during my college career. I was President of First Year Engineers’ Club my freshman year, Vice President of Society of Women Engineers (SWE) and Fall Festival Chair for Engineers’ Club my sophomore year, junior year I was President of SWE and a recruiter for the College of Engineering, and my senior year I have played the role of Engineering Queen..hence the tiara. Also, throughout almost all of my college career I have been a Dean’s Leadership Council Mentor and either an Office Assistant (OA) or Supervisor of the OAs for the Student Learning Center. So..yeah. I have sort of been involved quite a bit and I think this Queen thing will be my last big hoorah. It sure has helped me learn a lot!

This was me playing queen during the Homecoming parade. Engineering Queen and King are in charge of rallying the troops to build the engineering float (we don’t have required hours like a lot of Greek life does). Not to brag, but the engineering floats usually always have a moving part and they win overall in the small group.

We had a moving train on ours this year which was super awesome.

It is always very easy to talk about yourself, so I am excited to "meet" everyone else!
