Living Coordinators

On Wednesday, January 18th, I was introduced to my On-Campus Leadership facilitators Marylyn Silverstein and Michael Hargrove. Marylyn introduced herself to the class as a living coordinator in the Jardine complex. She went over what her routinely tasks consist of, what responsibilities she has, and what daily work she must keep up with as a living coordinator. Although, after she got through all the formalities, Marylyn began to feel more relaxed and talk more about her personal life. For one, Marylyn adores cats. She has a passion for traveling and indulging in new cultures and traditions. Marylyn loves her job as a living coordinator because she can meet different people with a diverse set of backgrounds.
