Have you ever wondered how some people manage to be involved with organizations all over campus and still find time to sleep? This week’s campus celebrity is more like a campus superstar. Meet our very own executive writer, Alexia Williams!
In addition to the HC team, Williams belongs to the Student Alumni Association, Kappa Delta Sorority, Panhellenic Board- VP of Philanthropy, Second Step Nonviolence Program and is a Sankofa Spiritual Peer. If all of that wasn’t crazy enough, she even holds leadership positions in almost all of the organizations. In SAA she serves as the Coordinator of Application, on PanHel she is the VP of Philanthropy and for KD she has been the social chair as well as VP-Philanthropy. To top it all off, she majors in Elementary Education and Sociology. Best of all? She somehow remains completely humble.
This junior from Johnston, RI speaks modestly about her decision to get involved. She says that she made the decision to join these organizations because she felt that she could better herself while helping others achieve their goals.
“I have become way more involved and connected on campus. I have developed many meaningful relationships, and I am truly grateful for the sense of pride in our University that has grown within me through the work I have done.”
