As Lindsay DiPietro sits at the front desk of Carman Hall, she is greeted by many familiar people coming and going.
Some know her as the vice president of Carman Hall Council, others know her as the president of the Residence Hall Association. She even runs into people on her intramural volleyball team.
DiPietro said she has always been involved in Student Government in high school. When she came to live at Carman as a freshman last year, DiPietro decided to run for a position on the Carman Hall Council and hasn't stopped being involved since.
She is an active member in hall council as vice president this year and works with other executive board members to make student programs for the residence hall.
"One of my favorite programs [we had] was Floor Feud," DiPietro said .
Floor Feud was a program run by DiPietro as well as others in Carman. The game was just like "Family Feud," but it was for each floor of the residence hall.
DiPietro is so devoted to her job, she is willing to "die" for the residents of Carman. She organized a new program called CSI:Charleston, which will take place Tuesday night. She will be "murdered," and students can find different clues to solve the case at Carman.
When DiPietro isn't working with hall council, most would see her doing work as the president of RHA. As president, DiPietro's duties include making agendas for board meetings and RHA meetings, upholding the RHA constitution and maintaining good contact with the news so the entire campus will know of any programs or news coming from RHA.
It can be a heavy workload at times, but DiPietro's fellow executives say she does it very efficiently.
"[DiPietro has done] so much you can't pinpoint one thing because she's excelled at everything she's done," said Erin McGovern, vice president of RHA.
Since DiPietro is in such high standing with each organization, she is also part of another organization called the National Resident Hall Honorary (NRHH). This organization is comprised of the top 1 percent of residence hall leaders. NRHH is involved with recycling on campus as well as helping build leadership skills within residence hall executive boards.
DiPietro is also part of a group called the National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS). This organization puts on one program per month to teach students time and stress management. DiPietro is an active member in this group as well.
"[I do all these programs] so that I can meet new people," DiPietro said. "It's nice to interact with different personalities."
DiPietro not only meets new people from her activity on campus, but also admits that it helps her leadership skills as well. On top of her already busy schedule, DiPietro is also a front desk worker and has put together an intramural volleyball team.
Todd Kleine, a co-adviser at Carman Hall, said no matter what task it is, big or small, DiPietro takes on each one with power and grace.
"She is very much a person that I can push and she will go above and beyond," Kleine said.
