Yeah. I think there's a long list of people that played the role
of a mentor while I was here at NC State. My academic advisor
in First Year College, Melissa, she was a great first point of contact
for me, and then I think once I got involved in various organizations
the advisors to those organizations and other people in Student Affairs
at NC State really became, you know, those people that guided me
through the four years and supported me either when I was coming
to them having, you know, what I thought, or maybe what was
a really good idea, or maybe when I had a problem and I was dealing
with something and wanted their help, whether it was-. Gosh, I asked them
anything from sending an email-"Does this sound right?"-to some type
of issue that we were addressing on campus, and a couple of those people--
Evelyn Reiman; Mindy Sopher; Dr. Tom Stafford, luckily I got to work
with him very closely; Eileen Coombes, who's been the student government advisor
for the last five years, I got to work with her; Mike Giancola,
worked closely with him because Eileen was on maternity leave for awhile;
and then Chancellor Woodson I think my final year as student body president,
working with him and Provost Arden, I felt like they had an open door policy
with me. P. J. Teal in the chancellor's office as well, she had a huge impact.
Our monthly lunches were very helpful as I was in my leadership role.
