Hey y'all! My name is Meghan Brown, and I'm a member of the class of 2013! I'm Professor Lynch's SSL for the 2012-13 school year. I'm a political science major working towards a career in government. I'm very involved on the Hollins campus, and in addition to being an SSL, I'm also the vice-president for the class of 2013 and sit on HAB (Hollins Activity Board)! I can't wait to meet all of y'all and get you lovin' Hollins as much as I do!

Hey, Class of 2016! My name is Catherine Hensly, and I'm super stoked to be an SSL for Professor Salowey’s seminar this fall! I'm a member of the class of 2014 and a business major contemplating a double major in economics. I'm also working towards the certificate in leadership studies from the Batten Leadership Institute. I'm from Virginia Beach, Virginia, but, sadly, my house is still a 30-minute drive from the oceanfront (tragic, I know). When I'm not in class or working at the Writing Center, odds are you'll find me up at the barn – I've been riding for 11 years and continue to take lessons through the fabulous riding program here at Hollins. I love horses, movies, reading, traveling… what can I say, I have diverse interests! I can't wait to meet you all – see you soon!

Hello ladies! My name is Caitlin Hoerr, and I'm an art history and English/creative writing double major. I live in Virginia Beach and love spending my time thrifting, writing poetry, exploring the beach, and drinking lots and lots of coffee. I'm a proud member of NEFA, the fine arts house on campus, Arts Association, and the tennis team. I'm extremely excited to be able to work with Professor Nolan, combining my two great loves — fashion and art history — in Fashion Forward. And I can't wait to meet all of the new students and show off how perfect Hollins is.

Hi there! My name is Sarah Knox, and I am from Bedford, Virginia. I am a member of the class of 2014, double majoring in biology and environmental studies. I am also a member of the Hollins soccer team. When I am not in class, you are likely to find me on the soccer field, in the Dana Science Building studying, or outside exploring the natural areas on our campus. In my free time, I also enjoy hiking, kayaking, birding, running, and spending time with friends and family. I am passionate about wildlife and the environment, and I plan to pursue a graduate degree in wildlife biology after Hollins. I am currently conducting an independent research project on "swamp chickens," and I have a unique relationship with the squirrels on campus. I am very excited to be a part of Professor Wilson and Jon Guy’s First-year Seminar, Thinking like a Mountain. I look forward to meeting you all!

Hello, lovely ladies of 2016! My name is Maria Latiolais, and I am a senior history and theatre double major who hails from Shreveport, Louisiana. You will generally find me lurking in Pleasants or skulking around the theatre. I love sunshine, Sondheim, reading (if I get a spare second), all things German, Oscar Wilde, anything involving food, and making collaborative art. I'm also a member of Alpha Psi Omega (the theatre honor society on campus) and a Writing Center tutor. I am so excited to help introduce all of you to Hollins, which I'm sure will become a place you call home as quickly as it has for me. I can't wait to get to know all of you in Professor Coogan’s History Rocks! seminar.

Hello, ladies! My name is Holly Milch, and I’m from Asheville, North Carolina. I fell down the deep, dark hole of theatre back in high school, and I've been loving it ever since. As a theatre major of the technical persuasion, I've been involved with almost every production that has crossed the stage since fall 2009. In whatever free time I can scavenge, I enjoy playing video games, watching cheesy action movies, or curling up with a good book and refusing to budge for hours. I can't wait to meet you all in the fall!

Hi everyone! My name is Adeiye Pilgrim. I'm from the beautiful sister islands of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. I'm an adult Horizon student (in my sophomore year) and haven't yet declared my major. However, my academic interests include chemistry and French. I love learning new things! I also enjoy running and quiet time with a good book. When I first came to Hollins, I felt a little overwhelmed by being back in school. I had to be reminded about time management, co-curricular involvement, and study skills. I'm happy to say that my SSL (and mentor) really helped me adapt to this new setting, and I hope to help you, too. See you soon!

Hello ladies of 2016! My name is Lachelle Roddy, and I am a member of the class of 2015. I am a communication studies major with a minor in international studies. I am also pursuing the Batten Leadership certificate. I dabble in many different activities on campus including the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance, the Global Interest Association, and the Hollins Circus Arts Club. I am from Tampa, FL, and grew up an hour away from the circus capital of the world. So, in my spare time, I can be found in the theatre practicing trapeze. I love yoga, dance, physical theatre, art, circus, and, of course, critiquing media. But more than anything, I love Hollins. It is my paradise, so I cannot wait to welcome you all here and enjoy the new year with you!

Hello Hollins Class of 2016! My name is Emily Wood. I'm a double major in international studies and gender and women's studies. It is hard to believe, but this is my senior year! I am actively involved in lots of clubs like Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance (F.M.L.A.) and Students for Environmental Action (S.E.A.) This is also my second year as a Student Success Leader. My favorite things about Hollins are the relationships you build with other students and professors, the Batten Leadership program, and of course… the traditions! Can't wait for you to experience Hollins for yourself!
