​

Running Club: “Which position has been your favorite?”
Pat Frahm: “That’s tough. I’d say probably Vice President of Operations. It’s a lot harder [than the other positions I have held] but I’m able to give a lot more back.”
RC: “Okay, and between the other two, which did you prefer?”
PF: “I’d say Social Coordinator just because the job was trying to have a fun time. If you are Social Coordinator and you are not having a fun time, that means that you’re doing it wrong.”
RC: “You raised a substantial amount of money when you were Fundraising Coordinator. How did you manage to do that?”
PF: “Through various restaurant fundraisers and also with ASMSU which is a big reason why the Fundraising Coordinator was put in place. But yeah, just through a bunch of various, different fundraisers with ASMSU just to top it all off.”
RC: “What will you miss most about running club after graduating?”
PF: “Probably the people. Actually, definitely the people. I can always volunteer at a track and I can always just go running, but Running Club is a great group of people. Especially--shout out to my roommates, running club house. It’s been an absolutely amazing time and it’s given me memories that I’ll look back on years from now.”
RC: “Why did you join Running Club?”
PF: “I actually told myself when I graduated high school ‘I’m not going to run in college; I’m going to do something else like dodgeball or volleyball.’ But then I looked into those and they were alright. And then I decided that I would show up to Running Club and I just fell in love with the people and their personalities and it became my family away from my family.”
RC: “And then If you had advice for future officers, what would it be?”
PF: “Probably keep working hard. It’s going to be a lot of hours that you have to put in some weeks, but keep on working hard at your position and know that people really don’t take it for granted and that people really appreciate what you do.”
