Editor’s note: In this edition, The Daily Orange writes a series throughout its sections about people who embody Syracuse, the university and the community surrounding it.

 

Kristen Brown, freshman engineering major, president of SU Synchronized Ice Skating Club 

‘My love of skinny jeans, Uggs, North Face, Gladiators and drinking on Thirsty Thursday are SU about me.’

 

Lauren Rosenstein, sophomore social work and photography major, member of Pi Beta Phi and Alpha Phi Omega

‘I love the color orange and wear it with pride!’

 

Terri-Ann Malgeri, junior communication and rhetorical studies major, co-manager of People’s Place

‘I take advantage of our education programs so that when I graduate I can exemplify the great SU alums our school produces and networks with. I know I show our campus in a great light when I meet prospective students and their families.’

 

Rashika Murthy, junior information studies major, member of Kappa Kappa Gamma

‘My leggings.’

 

Wesley Purvis, senior broadcast journalism major, CitrusTV

‘My skills for walking on slippery surfaces. I don’t think you learn that at other institutions.’

 

Jolyn Wu, senior public relations major, Singapore international student

‘I think I somewhat personify Scholarship in Action. I don’t just take required courses. I take classes I’m actually interested in, like sculpture and piano, because I want to learn about these things.’

 

Michael Kuhn, senior music industry major, co-producer for First Year Players

‘I embody SU because I try to take advantage of everything this university has to offer. I keep active on and off campus and allow myself to become absorbed in whatever activity or organization may cross my path. As a senior, I’d like to think I made the most of what this university has offered me over the past four years, which is why I’d consider myself a true SU student.’

Josh Chaplin, freshman public relations major involved in Black Celestial Choral Ensemble

‘Music has always been my passion, and I feel that since I’ve been a student at Syracuse, I’ve had the ability to come out of my shell for the first time in my life without the fear of being judged and being able to share my music with everyone. I feel so comfortable in the environment that it pushes me even further to be a better musician.’ 

 

Josh Scarcella, sophomore television, radio and film and marketing major involved in Habitat for Humanity

‘I’ve always wanted to be involved in some shape or form with television. Being here at Syracuse, I now have the opportunity to go to Los Angeles for a semester and learn many lessons about television through an internship, while forming connections that will hopefully get me a job. That’s an opportunity that not many schools could offer me.’

 

Ed Winston, junior communications design major, resident adviser, orientation leader, and member of Alpha Phi Omega and Habitat for Humanity E-Board

‘We all spend a lot to go to SU. This will most likely never change. Therefore, I just try and keep as busy as I can to make the most of my time here. I don’t think a time has come where I’ve had nothing to do since my parents drove away my freshman year.’

 

Annie Misiura, senior biochemistry major involved in Orange Pulse Dance Troupe and Alpha Chi Sigma

‘SU prides itself on expanding its horizons, through its students and its community. My experiences at SU allow me to creatively express myself and think outside the box. I don’t fit into any mold. I am my own person, my own thoughts and ideas. This makes me an SU student.’
