Sodelys Hilario ’19
Sodelys Hilario always knew she wanted to work with kids. It wasn’t until she came to SUNY Potsdam, however, that she realized she was meant to be a teacher. As a senior majoring in early childhood/childhood education, Hilario has had the opportunity to work with children of different ages, both as a mentor in the College’s Rebecca V. Sheard Literacy Center, and as an assistant in the Child Care Center on campus. Those experiences, along with her work at summer camps when she returned home for breaks, confirmed to her that she has made a good career choice.

Road to redemption
In some ways, Jake Winters ’24 is your typical college student—passionate about his major, dealing with loud roommates, and anxious about what his future will hold after graduation.
