3rd Year, She/Her

Hello! My name is Claudia Bran and I am a 3rd year dance major from Eleanor Roosevelt College. Outside of being an RA I dedicate my time to be part of many organizations on campus such as my sorority, Sigma Pi Alpha, and the Healthy Skin Initiative Club. Being an RA last year taught me the importance of resilience and strength while at the same time it taught me the meaning of giving back to my community. I’m am very excited to start the school year and continue to make amazing memories at Sixth College.
