A’kyra Holley, sophomore, Peace and Conflict studies major, was selected for “The Presence” award. Holley was given this award because of her deep connection to many of the students within our center. During her time spent here, whether it is to eat meals, study, attend virtual classes, or completing her Sister Circle office hours, you can always find her in our center. Between her assignments, Holley spends her time bonding with the other students who visit our center, celebrating their success and supporting them through their hardships.
Nora Sone, senior, Neuroscience major, was selected for “The Trendsetter” award. Sone was given this award not only for referring students into the SMC, but for also connecting with the same students once they came. Her efforts have grown the SMC’s bright community, as she connects new community members with old, and brings everyone together. She has demonstrated exactly what it means to build and raise a community, and the people she has referred to our center have said that her presence in their lives have changed them for the better.
Josiah Ragin, junior, Physical Education Sport Performance major, was selected for “The Connect” award. Ragin is deeply involved in every single program within the SMC in some fashion. He is the President for the Male Empowerment Network and supports and collaborates with Sister Circle. He is also a KT Family Leader and Mentor, a participant in the SMC Leadership Institute, and has supported the STARS program with his efforts. Ragin boosts the SMC’s sense of community, and ensures that nobody is left behind.
