My first post!

 Hey Everyone! My name is Evan Rudisile and I am a 3rd year student currently dual-enrolled at OSU and LBCC. I was raised in Medford, Oregon and spent most my life in this area until high school where my family decided to change things up for myself and my two siblings. Over the course of these four years I lived in Virginia, Tajikistan, Rhode Island, and Poland. I am currently a marketing major in the COB but I am contemplating picking up a second degree in International Business. Im super stoked to learn how to not only gain a grasp on how to market tangible and intangible items but also how to market yourself. I believe one of the most important things that you need to do is how to make yourself be known in order to get your foot in the door, or even to just work on getting a promotion. I am passionate in being involved with the community, I am a big supporter of the Boy Scouts where I am currently a director within the organization and have aspirations to further my career.
