My name is Anthony Simon, and I am a 08’ Hixson from Delaware County. I am a senior in Aerospace Engineering, with a minor in Nondestructive Evaluation. I live outside a small town in eastern Iowa called Worthington. When I was younger my dad was in the military, and that made us travel all over the world. Before I was five years old, I had already lived in two different states and another country. I also have six younger siblings, the youngest of which just turned two.
Shortly after coming to Iowa State I started getting involved in various activities. I was the house president in my dorm hall, I joined the ISU Ski & Snowboard Club, and I played multiple intramural sports. Over winter break I went with about 200 other students to Winter Park, Colorado, with the Ski & Snowboard Club. Since my freshman year I have joined other clubs and participated in other activities, one of which was becoming a Hixson Peer Mentor.
This fall will be my second year as a peer mentor. As a peer mentor, I will be helping out with the large lecture on Tuesday nights. I will also be leading two recitation sections, Wednesdays and Thursdays, with one of the other peer mentors. The Hixson retreat is Friday, August 26th. All 100 students (your class of scholars), peer mentors, graduate assistants, and Debra will be going on the retreat. It gives you the opportunity to meet and make connections within your section, as well as with other Hixsons. You better be ready for an exciting day!
I also work in the Hixson Office. Our office is upstairs from where you check-in for orientation, so please stop in and introduce yourself. The office is also home for the National Student Exchange (NSE) program. This gives you the opportunity to study at another university within the US while still maintaining your Iowa State student status. We have a booth setup at the Resource Fair, so we hope to see everyone there. The photo to the right is me at the resource fair-- so stop and say hello!
I can’t wait to meet everyone. Have a great summer!
