HUB Student Spotlight: Gabby Rivera, ASUW 2018-19 Director of Community Relations

1. What are your goals as Director of Community Relations?

My role in ASUW allows me to collaborate with students from all over campus. I’m really fortunate that I get to help other student leaders put on effective programming and critically think about how they can advocate for their constituents. Within my term, I hope to have a joint-programming event across all living communities and I hope to encourage participation in Student Senate from underrepresented communities.

2. In what ways has the HUB contributed to your Husky Experience?

When I am at the HUB, I am meeting with friends to discuss what we can do as student leaders on behalf of our constituents to make the campus a better place. As I am finishing my last term serving on Panhellenic, the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life has become a second home to me. Serving as this year’s Director of Community Relations, I am also thrilled be apart of ASUW’s space, where I can continue to drive change on campus!

3. If you had to eat a single food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

I’m a huge burger fan. I have a weird obsession with burgers. Any type, too. So, if I could just have a different type of burger for every meal of the rest of my life, that could be fun! But, if I had to narrow it down, I’d probably stick to a classic bacon cheeseburger!

4. What is your dream job?

I have a passion for health. As a Medical Anthropology and Global Health major, I love learning about people’s ways of living and am constantly intrigued by how different parts of the world perceive and prioritize healthcare. I would love a job where I could work within the healthcare realm and apply the leadership skills that I have developed at UW!

5. Do you have any Husky Game Day traditions? If so, what?

I go to all of the Husky games with girls from my chapter! For me, Dawg Saturdays and basketball games are times when I can celebrate the school with some of my best friends!
