KP: What would you like to see happen with your role and everything you’re doing once you move on? AH: “I would love to see wellness incorporated into things on campus, like mental health days, and students communicating with their professors when they need mental health help. It would be great to build an overall feeling of community for groups that are often overlooked, like the international community or graduate students. If we can incorporate wellness on a larger scale and make sure everyone is represented, my work would be done. The last thing would be to really connect the community. There are so many amazing resources here in Dutchess County, and people always talk about the ‘Marist Bubble,’ but there are ways we can build those connections and students can get involved in the community surrounding Marist.” KP: You have worked so closely with many individuals here at Marist, what has the community here shown or taught you? AH: “Students at Marist have taught me the value of a community and utilizing others strengths and diverse experiences. I’ve learned that I can grow through different people’s perspectives; so, the main thing is putting myself in other people’s shoes and making sure I’m hearing them out and using leadership roles to amplify other points of view. “ KP: Share some wisdom you have gained that you would like to extend to others. “ALWAYS KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN AND WHEN PROBLEMS ARISE, AS THEY ALWAYS DO, SEEK OUT SOLUTIONS.”
“I would say there are three steps: 1. acknowledging there’s a problem, 2. coming up with a solution, and then, 3. having a backbone to implement that solution. * Also, always have a backup
plan and a team you can rely on!”
