He earned the post after a series of interviews with the university's top deans and administrators, which culminated in a one-on-one discussion with Board Chairman David Kemper. Among his responsibilities, he keeps the board apprised of student perspectives, organizes Student/Trustee Day, and prepares a university-related research report on a topic of his choosing.

In addition to working with the board, he has interned with The Livingston Group, one of the largest lobbying firms in Washington, D.C. For the presidential debate, he has been chosen to work with the National News Media Office.

Zach says, "This election, in particular, will be crucial in shaping the future of America. Everyone is anxious to see what will happen in November."
