I’m also a Music Minister with Campus Ministry which means that I pick the music for mass and help to lead the music every Sunday. I’ve also been involved with the Center for Student Success since freshman year, first as a peer tutor, then as a classroom coach and now I’m finishing up my third semester as a tutor in the writing center. I was also heavily involved with the Loquitur my Sophomore year, as a staff writer, and my Junior year, as an editor. I’m currently one of the Co-site Developers on the Honors Convergence site RethinkingGender.com. I am incredibly honored to have been chosen to receive this award. It’s really just a wonderful feeling to have the university recognize the work that I’ve put in and all of the things that I’ve done over the past four years.”

He was also a part of the Student Government Association and was the chair of the public safety committee and was chair of the 2018 Unity week. “I am honored to be a recipient of the Who’s Who Award for 2018. I am not a person who is materialistic and I do not think titles are important, I just do what I think is good work, and I let the rest follow. There are two reasons why I am so honored to receive the award. Number one, I am now in the category of two of my closest friends who are graduates of Cabrini, and Who’s Who recipients, Jordy Floyd and Jerome Bailey. They made Cabrini a better place, and I am so grateful to be in the same category as them. Reason number two is because I am at a university where there are not many leaders that look like me – a black male. The fact that I am receiving this award is BIG. Now my brothers and sisters in BSU, those who are here and those who are on their way, can see that they are capable of doing something bigger.”

It is a huge honor to be one of the seniors receiving the Who’s Who Award, and it reminds me of the many reasons why I am so glad to have been a part of the Cabrini family.

Brittany Runyen
“I am so incredibly humbled and honored to receive this award as a part of Cabrini’s graduating class. This award was given to people who work really hard every day and go the extra mile, but to be honest, I have just been having fun for these past four years on campus. Being a student-athlete who was involved in the Honors Program, I was lucky enough to get the best of everything here at Cabrini. I took classes with some incredible people and professors, learning so much all the way and becoming a member of the English, Education, and Leadership honor societies. The Athletics Departments has provided me the platform to grow not only as an athlete but as a person as well. I served as a Women’s Soccer Captain for two years, and a Women’s Basketball Captain for one year. I have been coached and mentored by Cabrini’s best, and I will never forget the people that have impacted my life in such a positive way. Lastly, this year I was able to achieve something incredible alongside my friends and fellow athletes- I was an overall Captain for Cabrini’s first-ever Mitch Kline Cav-A-Thon, where we raised over $19,000 this year for the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. This is something I will never forget; as a student-athlete, I was finally able to give back and provide an opportunity for young children to believe that someday, they can have a college experience that was as incredible as mine was. Upon graduation, I will be receiving my degree in English and Secondary Education.”

I am a member of five different honor societies on campus, as well. I have participated in various field experiences for my major where I have had opportunities to teach all kinds of diverse learners, including teaching in North Philadelphia for an Urban Seminar. I have been on President’s List all 8 semesters of my college career. Also, I have had the chance to lobby about current issues happening in our country and world, such as climate change. Knowing I have received the Who’s Who award this year, fills me with gratitude. I feel so incredibly honored to be represented as a leading senior, along with my other incredible classmates. This has been wonderful validation for all of the hard work and memories I have had over my four years!”
