About Ant:
Ant is in his 3rd year at Mount St. Joseph University, majoring in Psychology with a minor in Sports Management. He’s decided to become a member of AmeriCorps and serve as the Student Resource Center Coordinator because he wanted to step out of my comfort zone and make more of an impact outside of his sport. Ant is a member of the football team and also plans to join the Mount Up bridge program that helps incoming students feel more welcome to college. He wants to break the stigma that asking for help is shameful and instead elicit the idea that asking for help/change is acceptable & should be encouraged through everyone. Ant hopes to make the SRC and Lion’s Cupboard a place where people feel welcome and accepted. Mount Up!
