Name:  Jamie SteinerJamie Steiner
Alma Mater:
 Purdue University
Major:  Quantitative Agricultural Economics
Host Company:  Angie's List
Hometown:  Berne, IN

Bio:
As most of you have noted about yourself, I am an overinvolved, organized, overachiever.  I truly enjoy the rush of knowing I need to get so much done in so little time.  Most of my time is taken up by the activities of serving as the Vice President for Purdue Student Government.  My second biggest commitment right now is my undergraduate honors thesis on consolidation of schools in the State of Indiana.  In my (almost non-existent) free time, I enjoy hanging out with friends, sleeping, and reading.

Why did you choose to be a part of the Orr Fellowship?
I chose the Orr Fellowship because of the mentorship opportunities, networking opportunities, flexibility it will provide, and the chance to make 26 new best friends.

What are your long-term career ambitions?
Long-term I honestly don't care what type of job I'm doing.  As long as I am in a job that I am passionate about doing, my career ambitions will be fulfilled. 

What will your first role be at your host company?
For the first 3-4 months, I will be working in the call center.  After that, I could be moving to marketing, IT, or whatever division needs an additional brain.

Just the facts:
Typically blunt and to the point.  Interested in way too many things. Love medium to large sized dogs, especially Labrador Retrievers. Enjoy playing guitar and snowskiing. Grew up showing cattle, swimming, and playing soccer, basketball, and softball. Events that require business casual or business formal attire truly excite me.

Good afternoon Jamie,

My name is Heather Ortiz; I am doctoral fellow at the American Clearinghouse on Educational Facilities. I am interested to post your recent thesis on consolidation of schools in the State of Indiana to our website (www.acefacilities.org), pending your permission.

ACEF is a non-profit program of the United States Department of Education which provides technical assistance, training, and resources to public early childhood, K-12 , and higher education institutions on issues related to educational facility planning, design, financing, construction, improvement, operation, and maintenance.

Proper acknowledgement of title, author, copyright owner, and copyright date will be given on the website. I checked with Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research and their posting of your undergraduate thesis does not negate your copyright abilities and you are free to allow our agency to post this valuable resources for educational professionals across the nation.

At your earliest availability, please email me at ortiz@acefacilities.org for additional discussion. I appreciate your time and consideration to post your resource document.

Thank you,
Heather Ortiz, M.Ed.
Doctoral Graduate Assistant
Managing Editor, The ACEF Journal
