Nice work, youre still in school so Education comes before Work Experience.
Consider changing this to Work Experience.
You can put a little more thought into the content of your bullet points. Keep in mind that most recruiters will not read everything, but rather skim sections for important information. I suggest keeping bullet points to one to two lines and maintaining consistency in lenght for each work history item.
Additional Information is not a very professional title. Stick with skills or leadership/Activities, or something more professional. See other top rated resumes in your field on Razume for an idea of what works.

Drew, for your first resume, you've done an outstanding job. And yes, for most resumes it is silly to list an objective. Experts have differing thoughts on objective statements, however, if it's not adding significant value to your resume, I suggest removing it. Think about it--is that the first thing you want recruiters seeing about you? So instead of your objective on your resume, include similar language in your cover letters. All things considered, the rest of your resume should be tailored to specific employers and should reflect your overall job seeing strategy. I have a few other comments, but otherwise, nice work! Be sure to share your knowledge with others in the Razume community.
Sam, I have to disagree about including an objective. The objective should be 1-2 sentences stating the position you are applying for and why you are the best person for the job. Also, there are companies that get thousands of resumes a day. In the event your cover letter gets separated from your resume, the objective can serve as a back-up. You don't want your resume to get discarded simply because HR doesn't know which position it was meant for.
The only instance in which the Objective should be left off is if you are passing out a General resume that's not for any specific position. :)
