Travis Bloom

A student at the University of Connecticut majoring in Management Information Systems.
I keep myself busy within Greek Life as President of Alpha Epsilon Pi but my real passion is seeing how new and emerging technologies are reshaping the world.

A Brief History

An ever-evolving timeline of my life from 2009 onward

I chose to enroll at the University of Connecticut as an Honors student after graduating from Weston High School, where I served as President of the Senior Class.
I got involved in a variety of organizations my freshman year, including Undergraduate Student Government, but after pledging the Upsilon Kappa Chapter of my fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Pi, I knew Greek Life was where I wanted to devote my time.
Inspired by my love of startups, gadgets, mobile, social, and everything in between, I decided to major in Management Information Systems in my second semester.
At the beginning of my sophomore year, I gained two leadership roles within Greek Life. In my own chapter I was elected Secretary and on the community level I was elected to be the Interfraternity Council's VP of Financial Affairs.
I got my first internship the summer of my sophomore year. I spent 10 weeks at Estee Lauder's global headquarters in New York City as a Travel Retail Marketing intern, where I was tasked with planning and executing the first mobile initiative within the department.
After a year of performing my duties as Secretary, I was elected to be President of my fraternity. My time is split between leading a chapter of 94 brothers and helping shape the direction of Greek Life at UConn externally.
In November of my junior year I was offered an internship within General Electric's prestigious Information Technology Leadership Program. I eagerly await the opportunity to work for a company globally known for investing in its employees and look forward to the various challenges it will offer.
