00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.525
Yeah. I think there's a long list of people that played the role

2
00:00:04.525 --> 00:00:08.220
of a mentor while I was here at NC State. My academic advisor

3
00:00:08.220 --> 00:00:13.796
in First Year College, Melissa, she was a great first point of contact

4
00:00:13.796 --> 00:00:18.102
for me, and then I think once I got involved in various organizations

5
00:00:18.102 --> 00:00:22.839
the advisors to those organizations and other people in Student Affairs

6
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:29.714
at NC State really became, you know, those people that guided me

7
00:00:29.714 --> 00:00:33.748
through the four years and supported me either when I was coming

8
00:00:33.748 --> 00:00:36.571
to them having, you know, what I thought, or maybe what was

9
00:00:36.571 --> 00:00:41.535
a really good idea, or maybe when I had a problem and I was dealing

10
00:00:41.535 --> 00:00:45.726
with something and wanted their help, whether it was-. Gosh, I asked them

11
00:00:45.726 --> 00:00:50.724
anything from sending an email-"Does this sound right?"-to some type

12
00:00:50.724 --> 00:00:55.310
of issue that we were addressing on campus, and a couple of those people--

13
00:00:55.310 --> 00:01:00.587
Evelyn Reiman; Mindy Sopher; Dr. Tom Stafford, luckily I got to work

14
00:01:00.587 --> 00:01:04.816
with him very closely; Eileen Coombes, who's been the student government advisor

15
00:01:04.816 --> 00:01:08.814
for the last five years, I got to work with her; Mike Giancola,

16
00:01:08.814 --> 00:01:13.747
worked closely with him because Eileen was on maternity leave for awhile;

17
00:01:13.747 --> 00:01:18.669
and then Chancellor Woodson I think my final year as student body president,

18
00:01:18.669 --> 00:01:24.168
working with him and Provost Arden, I felt like they had an open door policy

19
00:01:24.168 --> 00:01:30.893
with me. P. J. Teal in the chancellor's office as well, she had a huge impact.

20
00:01:30.893 --> 00:01:34.850
Our monthly lunches were very helpful as I was in my leadership role.
