I have made myself a constant part of the Stonehill Black student Union and the Pan-Asian Allience. Joining BSU and PAA provided a sense of community and support. It allows individuals to connect with others who share similar experiences, fostering a supportive environment in which I can incorporate to my work as an RA. It has also contributed to my personal growth by offering leadership opportunities and participation in discussions that challenge and expand one's perspectives.
