Meet Jane-Anna Caldwell, she’s this week’s Greek of the Week!  Jane-Anna is originally from Roanoke, Virginia but decided to make the trek to Vol country for her college experience.  Her major is supply chain management and she will be accepting an internship with the Lifeway distribution center in Lebanon, TN this summer to further her studies. 

Jane-Anna is currently a sophomore member of the Delta Gamma sorority here on campus and holds a position within the organization.  She is acting vice president of foundation for Delta Gamma.  This requires Jane-Anna to handle all of DG’s affairs regarding their philanthropy, Service for Sight.  Jane-Anna says that this position is just as rewarding as it is fun.

In fact, Jane-Anna just finished hosting an exciting event at the AMB yesterday.  This event consisted of an information session to learn about a part of Delta Gamma’s philanthropy, Club Vibes.  Club Vibes stands for Visually Impaired/Blind Enhanced Services and Jane-Anna’s successful info session highlighted all of the activities this organization is involved with and how they operate.  Jane-Anna said that the event went extremely well and that everyone who attended had an awesome time!

Since Jane-Anna works so close with Delta Gamma’s philanthropy, we asker her how this position has impacted her life at UT.  She said, “I have been really grateful for this position and the opportunities it has given me.  It has made me grateful for the things I have in my life after seeing the way blind people have to live their lives.  Foundation has also helped me with my organizational skills." 

Aside from being busy with her DG position, Jane-Anna is also very closely involved with the For the Kids charity and the peer mentor program here at the university.  She is also planning Delta Gamma’s first spring philanthropy event!  Usually, the women of Delta Gamma just hold their annual Anchor Splash week in the fall, but this year Jane-Anna is switching things up and adding another event.  The new event, “Delta Jamma,” will be held on April 12^th and feature a DJ, a lot of barbeque, and good times.  All of the proceeds from this event will go towards the Delta Gamma Foundation. 

As for the future, Jane-Anna hopes to continue her education here at UT, graduate, and eventually go to work for a major non-profit organization.  Jane-Anna has a great attitude towards life and always looks on the positive side.  She is a hard working, strong individual and is always willing to lend a helping hand.
