[[File:BradTurner.png|thumb|BradTurner.png]]Brad Turner is a second-year software engineering student at Michigan Technological University, and currently works part-time as a graphic designer for Student Activities, Housing, and Residential Life at the University. After serving as a councilor at a summer youth leadership camp, he realized his passions lie in working with students and plans on applying to graduate school for student affairs and development after graduating in 2017. He spent this last summer away from his hometown, Bay City, MI, to experience a season without snow in Houghton, MI doing graphic design work and preparing to serve as the Marketing Chair for the student programming board, as well as the Vice President of Communications for the Honors Institute. He also spent time preparing to help develop incoming students as an Orientation Team Leader as well as a teaching assistant for a leadership class for the Fall 2014 semester.

Last year, as a first-year student on campus, he became involved in many different activities and made a much larger impact on campus than he ever would have imagined. He developed marketing campaigns for on campus events, attended the Leadershape Conference in January, and was quickly elected for executive positions in multiple student groups. As a result, these groups have seen increased event attendance, positive brand recognition and a greater sense of community within their members. Off of campus he spent time working with start-up companies to develop application mock-ups and work flows to push them into various prototyping stages.

When not working, Brad spends his time outdoors. Depending on the season, he can be found kicking a soccer ball around with some friends or carving down the slopes of Mont Ripley on his skis. He also enjoys capturing the beauty of the world around him through photography, and spends the not-so-nice days inside editing and uploading those photos to share with the rest of the world.
