Student Success

Hello there! My name is Brianna Esther Acevedo and am honored to say I have spent my first four years of higher education here at SUNY Purchase College. I am so beyond excited to meet and spend time getting to know everyone. This is not my first rodeo and am confident in the notches in my belt that our Summer Success Fellows mentorship experience will just be the start of a many amazing Purchase memories for you to recount the days of our youth upon. Some things to know about me is that my friends call me ‘Bri’, my only pronouns are hers/she, and my personality type is ENFP. My declared major did a bit of a zig-zag between Psychology to Biology, but I will be graduating this upcoming semester with a Liberal Studies, B.A. with a Psychology minor. Take a chance and confide your trust in me, for will I pass along my wisdom of many opportunities offered at this legendary place I call ‘home’.

What’s good y’all, my name is Michael. My pronouns are he/him and I am going into my junior year at Purchase College. I am a visual arts major, but I also record music on the side back at home in Yonkers. I am excited to be a MAP peer mentor for the second year in a row, it was a lot of fun last year and I can’t wait to meet my talented fellow mentees this summer (congrats on your acceptance btw). One fun fact about me is that I sew/make costumes. I am a HUGE Marvel/DC fanatic, however Spider-Man and Flash will always be my favorite super heroes. Can’t wait to see y’all this summer, it’s going to be a lot of fun!
