Congratulations!!

Kelly Parrott and Lily Tendero University of Michigan-Flint are our Team Leaders of the Month!

From Helen Budd, Program Manager, Division of Student Affairs, University of Michigan-Flint: “Kelly is attending UM-Flint all online and is very active "on campus," despite her geographical distance. She usually advises PAVE students who are also attending all-online because she knows and understands the challenges of being an all-online student and how hard it can be to get a sense of belonging. She has been very active in Student Government and constantly advocates for veterans through her work with a variety of committees. She is very proactive and is always available for her advisees. She is truly an asset to our PAVE team!"

From Kelly Parrott: “The proudest accomplishment, to me, is being able to bring the PAVE program to the Flint campus, physically and via online. This is allowing many veterans to have access not only to fellow peers, but in the capacity that they need. My growth as a leader and being able to support my mentors in their own growth into emerging leaders within the university and community as well.”

From Helen Budd: “Lily is always diligent about reaching out to her advisees and logs them promptly. One of her advisees from the fall term is continuing to reach out to her, which is impressive considering the overall interaction is still fairly low. This indicates that Lily has made a great connection with her advisee. She is very intuitive to the needs of her advisees. Also, Lily is leading the GroupMe communication group with the other U-M-Flint team leaders, and she always has great ideas for activities and ways to improve our outreach efforts on campus. She is definitely an asset to the team!”

From Lily Tendero: “I am definitely proudest of our consistency in reaching out to our student veterans. Building trust takes time, and we have proven to be a patient team. We try our hardest to show up, because each veteran holds their own unique story, and we want them to know that no matter our differences, we've got your back. Being a Team Leader pushes me to step out of my comfort zone and make new connections every single semester, which has become a great blessing in my life! I love being able to help my fellow veterans accomplish their goals, one day at a time.”
