We'll readily admit that our call was based on rooting interest rather than analytics; we're just happy to see Sergio break through. In other sports-rooting news, we loved seeing Irish War Cry bounce back on Saturday and we're getting gray hairs on account of the Nats bullpen.

--Draft the Chair’s weekly email newsletter that keeps subscribers apprised of news updates, upcoming events and engagements.

Work with Finance team to identify fundraising and online engagement opportunities
--Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in digital media technology and online activism. Other tasks as assigned.
