Avery’s academic dedication is matched by her warm and engaging personality. During her time in UNIV 1101, she stood out as an outgoing and enthusiastic presence in the classroom. She was often among the first to volunteer answers and consistently participated in Wednesday class activities with genuine interest. In both class settings and peer mentor meetings, she was thoughtful, forthcoming, and eager to contribute. Her willingness to speak up, collaborate, and encourage others reflects the qualities of an effective and supportive Peer Mentor.
