Alexis - A Future South Hills Graduate



Alexis - Administrative Professional Graduate  Sept. 2017

While waiting outside the door where my 8 o’clock class would start, I recognized someone who was walking down the hallway toward me. Alexis was carrying her blue graduation gown and was on her way to have her picture taken with her fellow-students who will graduate from South Hills in September 2018.

Alexis is also one of the South Hills Student Ambassadors who organized groups of student visitors to take them to different classes where they could sit in while the classes were in session. I first met Alexis in the fall of 2015 when I was auditing courses at South Hills. When the “Day at the Hills” arrived that term, she encouraged me to attend a customer service class and an accounting class. She was a student in both classes, so I followed her. Both classes are in the Administrative Professional Program which is the program in which Alexis will receive her degree.

When I became a full-time student in the Administrative Professional Program in August 2016, I joined the Student Ambassador Club. On the “Day at the Hills,” I was able to work alongside Alexis who was always busy helping someone. It’s just her nature. She always had a smile for everyone.

Alexis lives near Belleville and would drive the back roads to South Hills, even in the wintertime. In addition to being a full-time student, she is always busy at home helping her mother and father with their work. She is doing her summer internship at Strawberry Fields, Inc., in State College, PA.

I will miss seeing her around school because she has been such an inspiration to all of us.

Congratulations, Alexis, on achieving your Administrative Professional Degree at South Hills! All the best to you in the future!
