I am Central:
Melissa Arszulowicz

Interpersonal and Public Communication senior

Overachiever


So how involved are you in the
CMU community?

I am a Leader Advancement Scholar, First Year Experience mentor, Senior Meals on Wheels volunteer, Isabella Soup Kitchen volunteer, Academic Orientation’s program assistant, LAS Program student coordinator



(After a pause)

Wow. You are busy.
I also do academic advising and I am a CMU Gold Ambassador.

What exactly is a Gold Ambassador? Someone who is involved on this campus, interacting with incoming and continuing students across campus, and loving this university inside and out. Everyone can be a Gold Ambassador in some sort of capacity in his or her daily lives.

Were you nervous before the 2006 Gold Ambassador announcement?
All I can remember is that my heart was pounding with excitement to hear the names about to be called. When my name was announced I just could not believe that they were actually saying my name.

What is the best part of the Gold Ambassador job?

Knowing that I can be a role model to other students. Hopefully I can empower them through my influence, however great or small that might be.

It’s obvious that you are a communication major. Do you ever say anything wrong? Of course I say things that make me think, What did I just say? I am far from perfect, but I do try to speak with honesty and clarity to the best of my ability.
