The December Dean of Students Office student spotlight is Cora Hawkins, a junior communication and political science double major with a minor in Latin American and Latino/Latina studies. Hawkins is a student receptionist in the Dean of Students Office, an Off-Campus Ambassador, and an executive board member of the Black Student Union.
One of Hawkins’ favorite parts of the Dean of Students Office is the upbeat, open, and understanding staff members. Hawkins said her involvement and relationships with the Dean of Students Office has helped her with her communication and professional development skills.
