During my time as the MASC program representative on the Graduate Student Senate, I had the unique opportunity to serve on the Jakobsen Committee for the 2024-2025 academic year. Together, we planned and hosted a premier research conference designed to showcase the diverse work of graduate students across all programs at the University of Iowa.

This past weekend, I had the incredible honor of celebrating a historic milestone, the 110th anniversary of the Alpha Beta chapter of Alpha Delta Pi at the University of Iowa. Returning to the chapter house is always a nostalgic experience, but this anniversary felt particularly special as we honored over a century of leadership, scholarship, and sisterhood on this campus.

This semester I transitioned in my role of desk clerk to social media intern at the Center for Language and Cultural Learning in Phillips Hall. One of my event management classes this semester was an internship course so I was very happy when I was able to shift into this new role.

This spring, I had the honor of being recognized by the Latino Native American Cultural Center (LNACC) during the University of Iowa’s Latinx Graduation Celebration. It was a deeply moving experience to stand alongside my fellow graduates, including one of my Alpha Delta Pi sisters, and celebrate our collective academic achievements and cultural heritage.

When I entered my senior year of undergrad, I knew I wanted to leave a meaningful mark on the campus community. This led me to join one of the University of Iowa’s most storied traditions, Dance Marathon. Joining in the fall of 2022, I embarked on a journey of advocacy, fundraising, and community building that would eventually culminate in one of the most challenging and rewarding days of my life. The Road to the Big Event Participating in Dance Marathon is a year-long commit

This past Sunday, I had the privilege of being initiated into the Order of Omega, a prestigious Greek life honors society here at the University of Iowa.

The Meaning Behind the Membership Order of Omega is more than just a title to those of us in Greek life.
