Today is World Kindness Day🩵 We asked the Carolina community how they practice kindness in small, everyday ways. Now it’s your turn. We challenge you to find one way to show kindness this week. Be kind, pass it on.
Meet Lindsey Meier (she/her), a senior studying geography and anthropology and part of the team at the Military and Veteran Student Success Center.🩵✨ “The strong sense of camaraderie and community here makes the work incredibly fulfilling.” Lindsey came in expecting mostly admin tasks, but found herself helping students navigate the transition to Carolina and build connections that last. Along the way, she strengthened adaptability and problem-solving skills by listening, assessing needs, and linking students to the right resources. MVSS has also shaped her own Carolina experience. “At a big university, this space has become a true home base for me.” One moment that stands out is the Boot Print to Heel Print orientation in fall 2023, where she met staff and students who helped her feel prepared and supported from day one. Swipe to learn how MVSS supports veterans, active-duty service members, ROTC students, dependents, and graduate students, and to see how to get connected. 🐏
