Myasija Rivera (she/her)

Myasija is a strong leader and advocate for student engagement at West Chester University. She serves as Vice President of First Gen Rams, Secretary of both Future Teachers United and Poesis, and is a Leadership Consultant and Career Ambassador in the Twardowski Career Center. Her academic accomplishments earned her a spot on the Fall 2024 CESW Dean’s List, and she also represented her peers as a Student Speaker at WCU’s Inaugural Convocation.


Advice to Students: “While I wholeheartedly agree that maintaining a strong GPA is important, my experience here at WCU would be nowhere near as valuable as it has been if I hadn't gotten involved on campus. Being involved doesn't mean just going to an event because your friend made you, but it means showing up and trying new things even if you're afraid of the outcome. Involvement leads you to connection and connection is networking. In the grand scheme of things, networking can get you far. Don't take it lightly when I say to get involved, you never know where you'll end up!”


To contact Myasija, email mr1049440@wcupa.edu
