Google and U

Google CMU president leads his classmates into the future online

Google might be one of the most known and used search engines, and according to Raheem Kareem, it has even more to offer.

This fall, the Oak Park junior began Google CMU to bring students deeper into the Internet age.

What is Google CMU?

Kareem: “We are an RSO that loves, encourages and educates all CMU affiliates on the many uses of technology and how its uses can skyrocket connection, collaboration intelligence, and innovation. We put on various events, workshops, and presentations to expose CMU Chippewas to the many useful products, services, and opportunities that Google provides for students and faculty alike.”

How has your organization impacted CMU?

Kareem: “I believe our Chippewas need to stay informed and become better prepared for life after college. We host different events for opportunities, personal development and career building. We want to stress the importance of incorporating technology into chosen professions and how some of the products and opportunities Google offers will allow Chips to stand out against the ever-growing competition. In a way, Google CMU acts as a resourceful liaison between Google and Central Michigan University.”

Why are you involved and passionate about Google CMU?

Kareem: “I wanted the organization to act as a window into our future; a world that will be centered around experience, creative people and technology. Being that I have realized that anything is possible, I now lead my life following my biggest dreams and inspire others to do the same and reach for the stars”

What is the main goal of this organization?

Kareem: “Within our organization, we strive to enhance lives through Google's products. We aim to increase the productivity, personal/professional development and overall happiness and success of not only specific individuals, but also entire organizations through the use of technology and teamwork. In a way we are advocates for Google, we want to help Central Michigan University receive exposure while showing them the different functions and programs Google extends.”

How can someone become involved with Google CMU?

Kareem: “Google CMU decided late last semester that we would bring on committee members to our team. This plan was put in place to allow other Chippewas to get involved and play an avid role in the positive correlation between their own use of technology and their own knowledge in their chosen career field.
