Meet student leader Sydney Hodson

Nipissing students consistently impress as leaders, in the classroom, on campus and in the community. Recently the university celebrated 25 student leaders at the annual Dave Marshall Leadership Awards. Over the coming months, NU News will introduce each student leader to the wider community with a short article discussing their accomplishments and activities. Today, we are pleased profile Sydney Hodson a student in the bachelor of arts, honours program with a specialization in English.

Hodson’s professional engagement, skill building, and practical experience puts her near the top in Nipissing’s residence leadership team. During her three years working in residence and summer accommodations, Hodson used her understanding of student life to create a marketing campaign that led to our highest intake of returning students living in residence. She was also instrumental in a new residence orientation project which involved implementing an e-learning module - the first of its kind in Ontario.

Hodson’s commitment to innovation in the residence life community has allowed her to be involved in projects that are beyond her years of experience. She took on each project with enthusiasm, intention to learn, and desire to develop her already impressive skill set. She is a role model for other leaders, especially in seizing opportunities on campus and working with various professional staff to learn as much as she can.

Hodson values every opportunity for leadership and professional development she is offered. Her commitment to excellence and innovation has had a positive influence on residence life, for staff and students alike. The impact of Hodson’s leadership will resonate within the residence life community for years to come.

The university community is proud to recognizes Sydney Hodson with a Dave Marshall Leadership Award in the Campus Category.
