Mary Stephan

U Mass Boston '27

I'm a Senior Political Science major and Dance and Public Policy double minors at UMass Boston. I'm currently the President of UMB's Dance Company and the Event Planner for the Game Day Cheer Team! My previous leadership roles have included: Treasurer of UMass Boston Dance Company; Grassroots Coordinator and Event Planner for MASSPIRG at UMB; Civic Engagement Fellow for the Office of Student Leadership and Community Engagement in collaboration with MASSPIRG; Peer Mentor with the CLA First! Advising Office.

I was born and raised in Eastern Iowa and moved to Boston for college! I've been dancing since I was three years old and danced competitively for 11 years. I started cheering when I was in high school and was Captain for two years because I loved being involved at my school.

Journaling and planning are some of my favorite hobbies. I really enjoy setting up my planner spread every week and decorating it with stickers. Another thing I love is coffee! Making a delicious cup of coffee to enjoy on the weekends always makes me smile. Sharing coffee or food I've made with my friends is one of my favorite things to do.
