Kristin Coffey
Associate Director
Risk-taking was not always the strength of Kristin Coffey, Venture Outdoor Leadership’s associate director. But she said that is more of a strength than a weakness when it comes to her position. However, for Coffey to get into this career path altogether, it ultimately involved taking a risk.
Jordan Slomianyj
Residence Education Coordinator, Witherspoon Hall
When Jordan Slomianyj isn't in Witherspoon Hall, he has traveled to around 70 countries spanning all across the globe. He took that to new extremes on a recent expedition to Antarctica, a trip that earned Slomianyj the honor of visiting every continent before the age of 35.
