Throughout campus, there are many organizations, sports and clubs that encourage students to do something extraordinary.
One person who works everyday towards doing extraordinary things on Cabrini College’s campus and throughout his life is Rory Early.
Early is a junior who has been a part of ACID since the beginning of his college career.
ACID stands for Advisory Council for Inclusivity and Diversity. ACID is the campus connection between the inclusive dialogue and the student body. ACID, working out of the Student Diversity, hosts multiple events mainly during Ally week. This group focuses on issues of diversity.
Early is currently working within the Student Diversity office as an office aid.
“Through copying papers and sorting supplies, I’ve learned a few things about diversity,” Early said.
Within his job, Early helps out every way he can, while also being a full time student.
“ACID has loosened my vocabulary, my general knowledge on different subjects, helped me become more understanding of peoples’ differences and an overall more understanding person,” Early said, when asked about ACID’s impact on his time at Cabrini.
Being a part of ACID has helped Rory grow as a per- son and a student. Early said that working in the diver- sity office has expanded his vocabulary and knowledge of issues that impact everyone, brought him spiritually closer to those who are struggling and has helped him to to share his newly learned experiences with others.
Sarah Carter, assistant director of programming for diversity initiatives, has worked close with Early since she began working in the Student Diversity office this past Jan.
Carter has been shown how committed Early is about his position as a leader in ACID and as an office aid. Carter believes that Early is very committed to the ideas and principles behind diversity and also the clubs and offices purpose. She also recognizes how well his dialogue is when discussing what exactly diversity means and how it is portrayed in everyday situations and conversations and how it helps structure society.
“I think Rory really lives the mission of ACID in his actions and his words,” Carter said, when asked about how Early lives out his mission to be as helpful as he can in the ACID and Cabrini community.
