Victor's Story

What makes you a Difference Maker?

I've made a difference on this campus in smaller ways than some may think based on my experience as president of a fraternity. I've done my individual part to facilitate a sense of community more than I’ve done to create awareness, or change, or to even lead my fraternity to accomplish something great. Instead, I made a conscience effort to get to know as many people on this campus as I could. Once I joined Alpha Psi Lambda, I also got a job with UUE on campus. Those two combined factors lead me to be on campus constantly, and I used that to do my part to help create a sense of community.

Highlight your campus achievements:

University Honors in '13-'14, '14-'15, '15-'16, and '16-'17

I've co-founded, with 7 others, a colony of Alpha Psi Lambda onto this campus

I was counselor for the W.O.W. summer camp in the summer of 2016

Blueprints Leadership Program

Highlight your leadership experiences both on and off campus:

I've been in different leadership roles over the last few years. There's Alpha Psi Lambda, the department I work for and the people who I surround myself with daily. I bring those leadership skills to every facet of my life.

What is your dream career and/or long term life goal?

My dream career is one that involves public speaking. In my short time here on campus, I've had a few opportunities to get up in front a small crowd, and I jump on those chances every time. It's a passion and a talent of sorts.

What was your most defining moment at UM-Dearborn?

My defining moment was founding this fraternity in the Winter of 2015 with seven other brothers and sisters. That moment was the beginning of a chapter that would enlighten me on my own talents, passions, weaknesses and dreams. My first two years of college were almost a waste. I went to class, then straight home, but I learned so much more—especially about myself—once I became an involved student on this campus.
