Sophomore Logan Wein is a Shippensburg University student from South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. A communication/journalism major and an international studies minor, Wein is an active student who balances school work with leadership positions in many campus organizations.
Wein joined The Slate staff in spring 2016 as an assistant public relations director. Since starting his position, Wein has created flyers, programs and social media posts to advertise events for The Slate. Wein and other staff members are also planning the upcoming Slate and WSYC 60th anniversary celebration, which is set to occur at the end of April.
Recently, Wein started a Campus Crew to support the apparel brand Love Your Melon. By partnering with nonprofit organizations, Love Your Melon donates profits to support pediatric cancer research, hoping to one day find a cure for the disease.
Having experience with Mini- Thon in high school inspired Wein to continue raising awareness for pediatric cancer.
“It’s just another way for me to give back to those who don’t have the same opportunities as me,” said Wein.
“I’m excited for my crew to grow so we can do events for kids with cancer,” Wein said. “I want my crew to love it.”
Wein also fills many roles in SU’s Student Government. As a representative for the Class of 2019, Wein voices the desires of his fellow classmates in student government decisions. Wein serves on the public relations committee as well, and helps plan events such as Homecoming Student Government sponsored dinners. As Ceddia Union Building Committee Chair, Wein also reports to the CUB with ideas and insights from students.
Between school work and leadership positions, Wein likes spending time with friends. He enjoys photography and shoots both portraits and scenery. Wein also enjoys skiing and traveling, and hopes to one day visit Australia, Switzerland and Ireland.
“I grew up in a small town where I never had the opportunity to leave the East Coast,” Wein said. “Now that I’m at the age where I can just get up and go on my own, I want to take that opportunity.”
After college, Wein plans to become a traveling public relations specialist, fulfilling his wish to explore the world while he is young. With ambition and a knack for leading, Logan continues to climb the ladder to achieve his dream.
