April’s Quote to Live By: “You can bomb the world into pieces but you can’t bomb it into peace.”—Michael Franti
April Benitez is a little firecracker doing really big things for our SUNY Buffalo State Branch. This is why this week we are taking time to appreciate her. April is your all around spunky girl that doesn’t take no for an answer. Being a junior Biology major with a minor in Computer Information Systems and being involved in three organizations (NSBE, CSTEP, and Spirit Gospel Choir) she balances everything down to a tee.
Standing at 5 feet she makes sure that her small stature doesn’t make her look weak. She uses it to her full advantage. She has fully debated back and forth with students and promoting our Her Campus branch throughout the Buffalo State campus from wearing her lovely Her Campus tee shirt to every major event and making sure she is being seen in it to running around giving out flyers to basically every Collegiette in sight! She was the one that also took in the responsibility of trying to turn our HCSUNY Buffalo State branch into a recognized club on campus by filling out the paperwork needed and doing all the grunt work that goes behind the long process. April stated “I love this school; I love my friends that I work with at this branch of Her Campus. I want to see it turn into something by the time I graduate and leave something with Buffalo State because I love it that much.”
We at HCSUNY Buffalo State want to say thank you to April for helping us out. She is the true meaning of a Collegiette!
