Woman of the Week (WoW): Noa Shevchuck

Jackson Giammattei, Staff Writer

WOW: Noa Shevchuck

Nominated by Justin Aguirre

Nomination: Noa is one of the hardest working people I know, and she’s thoughtful, compassionate, and a vigorous critical thinker. In her interactions with her residents, she’s able to instantly spark meaningful conversation and assists in crafting a close-knit community at Fox, her dorm,  where empathy grounds her. Although I haven’t had the privilege of having her as my SI, from what I’ve heard she’s assisted many students in improving their overall comprehension of a subject, I’m pretty sure relating to psychology or bio.

Questions:

What are your proudest accomplishments?

Being an RA as well as balancing my classes despite only being a sophomore, I feel I have done a lot to benefit myself and other people around me.

What are you passionate about?

I love animal sciences, reading, and traveling.

Who do you look up to?

My mom! She is the bravest, most supportive and lovely woman I have ever met. I aspire to be as great as she is!

What does being a woman at Union mean to you?

Being a woman at Union means taking classes that I want to regardless of what others think, and doing what makes me happy.

How do you think Union can do a better job at supporting women on our campus?

By acknowledging and educating others, regardless of gender, on the important things women have done at Union and throughout history.
