To help me hgain a better understanding of what it means to leave a legacy, I met with Nick Barbati, the former executive vice president of Student Government Association and also a graduate of Rider University, who has become a good friend of mine. I thought he would be the perfect person to talk to since he is well known here at Rider University. Nick has won several honors/awards such as the Presidents' Award. I talked to him about getting involved and making a difference.
As a result of that, I became:
- Clubs and Organizations chair for Student Government Association (Fall 2009-Spring 2010).
- One of the first freshman students to be part of the Model United Nations at Rider University
- A member of the Leadership Development Program,
- A brother of Alpha Phi Omega National Service Fraternity,
- A peer mentor for the Multicultural Student Leadership Institute
- The vice president and the president of the Tau Kappa chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.
- A member of the elite professional development group - DAARSTOC
- A member of Community Standards Board
- A member of the Commencement Speakers Selection
