Alumna of the Month: Alana (Williams) Cooper

One of the most dedicated Alumnae to the Zeta Beta chapter over the past 10 years is Alana (Williams) Cooper. While Alana was a collegiate at LMU she held the positions of Director of Member Education and Vice President of Chapter Operations. Since her graduation in 2004 she has held the volunteer positions of on-campus advisor, chapter advisor, and operations advisor. In addition to volunteering with the Zeta Beta chapter directly she has also spent time volunteering with Alpha Phi regionally and nationally. She is a judge for the undergraduate scholarships through the Alpha Phi Foundation, a programming specialist for Team Sooner (Oklahoma) and a human resources coordinator for the Southwest Region.

"Alpha Phi has made me a more well rounded individual and has prepared me for many of life's challenges. I have learned patience and how to see things from various perspectives.  The 2 am emergency phone calls prepared me for having a newborn baby!" says Alana.

Alana currently works as a High School Counselor working with at-risk students helping them stay on track for graduation and encouraging them to go on to college.

"When I was initiated in 2001 at LMU I have never thought I would still be involved with this organization 10 years later," says Alana, "Now I can't imagine not being involved. Volunteering and meeting women from around the country has been a blessing and an incredible experience. I would really like to encourage anyone that has any interest to explore all the possibilities and take advantage of what Alpha Phi has to offer."

Thank you Alana for all that you do for Alpha Phi!

Alana and her beautiful family
