Primary Advisor: Matt Anderson
Howdy! My name is Matt Anderson (he/they) and I am the advisor for The Big Event. I am so excited to get to work with such driven, selfless student leaders who dedicate themselves and their free time to serving the entire BCS community! I hold a Master of Science in Higher Education Administration from Florida State University (FSU) in 2024. Before FSU, I received my Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of North Alabama (UNA) in 2022. In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling, being outside, and exercising. A fun fact about me is that I have lived in over 7 different states growing up. I look forward to connecting with Big Event Advisors all over the world to expand our network together!
Howdy! My name is Emma Beaird (she/her) and I am proud to be one of the advisors for The Big Event! Originally from Weatherford, TX, I completed my undergraduate degree at Baylor University in 2019. After graduating, I worked in the corporate world before returning to Baylor in 2022 as a staff member. My work at Baylor helped me better understand the world of higher education, and I knew I wanted to make a lifelong career in student affairs. I began pursuing my Master of Science in Educational Administration in the Student Affairs Administration in Higher Education (SAAHE) graduate program at Texas A&M and will graduate in May 2025. In my free time, I love to cheer on both of my schools (the Aggies and the Bears), travel (I visited my 17th country this year), and spend time with friends and family. I am proud to be the 14th Aggie in my family and join a legacy of excellence and service that has been a significant part of my life.
