	Stephanie Nitschmann President snitschm@purdue.edu Hello! My name is Steph and I am lucky enough to be the 2013 PUDM president! I am a junior majoring in Psychology and was born in Germany but now live in the wonderful city of Pittsburgh, PA. I absolutely adore my incredible family, friends, pets, den pops, sappy romance movies, pizza, and of course PUDM!!! I got involved with PUDM my freshman year as a committee member on campus promo, and then joined the special events committee my sophomore year. Junior year, I was given the amazing opportunity to be on the executive board as the Special Events Executive. During my time at Purdue, I have fallen completely in love with our organization and our cause. Not only do I have the honor of being able to do so much for the children and families at Riley Hospital for Children, I get to do so with the most inspiring, dedicated, tremendous group of students on this campus. Join PUDM today and allow your heart and life to be forever changed! Boiler Up and FTK!
	Josh Bring VP External jbring@purdue.edu Hey everyone! My name is Josh Bring and I am the Vice President External this year for PUDM 2013.

In case you couldn't tell, I love Fresh Prince of Bel Air as well as ESPN, hanging out with friends, drinking excessive amounts of Den Pops, helping out with The Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity which I am a brother in, and spending all my free time on PUDM and the kids at Riley Hospital for Children! I began my freshman year on the Greek Promotions committee, spent last year as the Athletics Outreach executive, and I couldn't be happier to still be a part of the organization that has given me so much and has allowed me to give back to a group of children who deserve all we can give! If you want to leave your mark on Purdue's campus and make a difference in the lives of all the kids at Riley Hospital for Children, then join today! PUDM FTK!
