Hi everyone! My name is Jessie Roig and I’m an adult learner and transfer student from Pittsburgh, PA. This is my third year at CSU and I’m double majoring in Political Science and Sociology. After graduating high school at 17, I attempted community college but had a hard time adjusting to the freedom. I worked in the medical field for 8 years, taking the time to develop my passions and decide on a career path that felt right for me before returning to community college in 2018. After touring CSU in 2019, I felt like I was home. The mountains, sunshine, and the people I met along the way made my decision to transfer to CSU so easy.

Coming in as an adult learner and non-traditional student, I felt extremely nervous about finding my community. It wasn’t until I took a chance and started working at the ALVS my first semester here that I realized this was the place that would nurture my growth socially, professionally, and academically. I fell in love with supporting students and the care I received from our ALVS team.

My passions lie in supporting students in their goals of finding internships and research. I love to introduce students to the career center, help students find financial resources to stay in school, provide scholarship writing support, and find their community here on campus. Having had many financial struggles myself in school, I love to support students in utilizing the resources that have helped me stay in school.
