About Me

Hey MacSci! My name is Olivia and I am so excited to be one of your Sciclone Directors this school year! 🥳 This is my first year as an executive member of MSS, but I’ve been a Sciclone (Science Welcome Week Representative) for four years. During this time I have truly seen the incredible impact our team’s positive and welcoming energy can have on First Years. In the past, the Sciclone Team has mainly focused on supporting First Years during Welcome Week which is always a blast and I know there is still so much more joy and guidance we can provide. This is why I am so passionate and thrilled to be in this role. On campus you’ll definitely spot me at MUSC studying and grabbing a bite to eat, shout out to the $6 tacos 🌮, the pulse 💪 and MDCL when I need to lock in 📖. I can’t wait for all our fun events and initiatives to come your way, so stay tuned! 💚

Goals

1. Support first-year students continuously throughout the year, beyond welcome week in collaboration with the Sciclones Team and First-Year Representatives

2. Integrate the Sciclone Team into MSS events to maintain our involvement year-round

Projects

1. Support first-year students during midterms by organizing Midterm Lovin,’ where Sciclones distribute positive notes to boost morale and spread positivity

2. Help grow connections and bonds within the Sciclones Team and MSS through team-bonding activities and active participation in MSS events

3. Review and update the Sciclones Operating Policy and streamline the team transition process for smoother handovers

Reasons to Contact Me

1. If you’re a first-year student looking for support, guidance, or someone who can help you navigate university life

2. You have an idea for how the Sciclone Team can support first-year students or want them to be present at your event

3. Good books recommendations that can get me out of a reading slump
