Diandra Fana - A taste of all things

Upon entering NYU in the fall of 2008 – I was not aware of the myriad of opportunities available to me. I was elected freshmen class president of CAS my first year; I became involved in campus events and landed an entertainment job with the New York Knicks! Currently, as a junior in the College of Arts and Science, I’ve declared my major in Psychology because I find the mind extremely fascinating! In addition to this I’ve been elected President of The Beta Gamma Chapter of The Omega Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated. Upon joining this organization I’ve been educated on several topics and I have been an advocate for rising the Awareness of Domestic Violence. In addition to this, my chapter makes it a priority to mentor our younger community and fight apathy through youth activism.

Arlyn Rodriguez: Rocking the Vote

Freshman Arlyn Rodriguez has spent much of her time in Fall 2008 encouraging everyone to vote.  She has followed the election closely and throws random facts about the candidates at her friends and family. “Politics is about people,” she says. This is why she has decided to major in it. She enjoys her Politics class and says it has helped her understand more about the primaries, for one. “It also helps me understand how the world works,” she adds.  She hopes to use all she learns to work for the government and to go to law school. She checked the news online and received alerts on
