With Thanksgiving being this week, we decided to turn to our helping majors this week for our campus profile. As a senior, Lilly is a social work major, has participated in various service organizations and has even applied to the Peace Corps. We’d say she has a pretty helpful bone in her body and is one of those people that knows what the true meaning of Thanksgiving is. Here are a few things about Lilly Paul!
