Campus Champion

Leah Gelblat fills her time outside of class with activities that are personally meaningful. It’s one reason why December’s sprint towards the semester’s end never seems daunting to the junior communication studies major. “I’m someone who takes it all in and takes it all on,” says Leah, who kicked off 2013 with a Birthright trip to Israel and juggled two fall semester internships on campus. An active presence in the Multicultural Life and Diversity Office, she also is a student justice and a member of a Cultural and Intellectual Climate committee — just two more reasons she’s never bored during her down time.
