Olive Umeh is a sophomore at Bentley University and has kept herself busy since she first arrived. She participated in the Summer Transition Education Program her first-year and jumped right into leadership positions in cultural organizations from there. This year she is on the e-Board responsible for the revival of Bentley’s African Student Association as Events Coordinator. Olive also works as a receptionist in President Gloria Larson’s office. She says this is one of her favorite positions on campus because she has the opportunity to talk to Gloria one on one and uses this time to express how underrepresentation of minorities affects her as a minority student at Bentley. Olive also expresses how integral the MultiCultural Center has been to her student life. The MCC has created a community of people that provide a sense of comfort for those who are otherwise marginalized.
