Evelyn Crane – Kappa Kappa Gamma

How do you display leadership on campus?

“To me, leadership is displayed most through empathy. Whether I’m catching up with my Kappa sisters, welcoming new members to the chapter, or meeting new students and families while giving a tour, I always lead with empathy. I try to understand where others are coming from to be a source of support and show that they are not alone. While serving as the Visitor Relations Tour Guide Coordinator for the Recruitment process, I made it my mission to make it so any student touring Mizzou would be able to see any of our Tour Guides and know there was a group, major, background or story where they would feel welcome.”

What Legacy do you hope to leave at MU?

“I hope to leave a legacy of continued excellence and drive for success. I wanted to show people that success can be achieved in many different fashions and everyone has their own story. From being pre-med to picking up music during my time at Mizzou I want to leave behind that whatever you are passionate about college is the time to explore those passions and make them reality, no matter how different it may be what’s expected.”

Justin Eddy – Alpha Gamma Rho

What Advice do you have for future MU students?

“Jump in with both feet. Don’t hold back or hesitate before getting involved on campus. The opportunities here are endless and allow you to really find and define who you are as a person. Find your passion, connect with those who share it, and change the world.” 

Eliana Eubanks – Society of Women Engineers

What is your greatest MU memory?

“My greatest Mizzou memory is from my sophomore year during Paint the M. It was such a fun day meeting so many new people coming out of a covid freshman year and being part of a tradition that’s so symbolic of Mizzou pride. It was also the moment I met the group of friends who I still spend weekends with and share countless memories. That day really marked the beginning of feeling at home here showing me how much fun college can be. It’s a reminder of how important it is to embrace those moments, because they can lead to lifelong connections and truly shape your college experience.”

Johnathan Martinez – Phi Kappa Theta

What Legacy do you hope to leave at MU?

“I hope to leave behind a positive and welcoming environment where everyone feels empowered by their community and supported by those around them. I want people to know that we’re all meant for something bigger, and with the right support system, we can achieve it!! Like Maya Angelou once said, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” I want my legacy to be one that makes others feel seen, supported, and capable of reaching their full potential.”

Kristina Nenova – Chi Omega

What advice to you have for future MU students?

“Do not be afraid to try. Some of my best memories and opportunities have come from having the courage to ask, apply, and push myself outside of my comfort zone. Coming to college is all about exploring your passions and setting a foundation for who you aspire to become. Mizzou has so many amazing organizations and clubs that can help you grow in your academics, passions and personal development that you will not find anywhere else.”

Will Wehmer – Alpha Sigma Phi

What is your greatest MU memory?

“My greatest Mizzou memory was standing alongside my fellow Greek Week directors as we presented the $83,000 check to the Thompson Foundation and Camp Kesem at the end of the 2024 Greek Week. It serves as my favorite memory because in just one week our Greek community truly rallied together to raise these funds and ensure that each of our beneficiaries could thrive.”

Olivia Prudhomme – Vasey Academy

What Legacy do you hope to leave at MU?

“I aim to leave a legacy of empowerment, ensuring others feel supported and motivated to achieve their goals. Championing inclusivity and combating imposter syndrome is so important as that is how we all have a lasting sense of shared purpose and excellence.”

Audrey Stowe – Alpha Delta Pi

What advice do you have for future MU students?

“You will inevitably misstep, say the wrong thing, fail an interview, etc. That is more than okay. The process doesn’t stop at failure – it stops when you’ve learned something. Keep trying, applying, raising your hand, etc! You got this!”

Tyler Thomas – Sigma Chi

What advice do you have for future MU students?

“Time keeps getting faster. You only have four years at Mizzou and they go by in the blink of an eye. Find what makes you happy – whether it’s a group of friends, an activity or an organization – and love it for as long as you can. Give your whole heart to everything you do and make it mean something. When those four years are over, you’ll wish you could do it again, but you won’t regret a single thing.”
