When you come into contact with Alex Lucas, you will immediately take notice of her kind demeanor, soft voice and piercing brown eyes. However, one specific trait will leave a guaranteed lasting impression: her smile.
Alex won “Smile Day” in fifth grade and hasn’t looked back since. Beaming with joy and warmth, her grin earns her instant endearment from many on campus. However, even if Alex decided to never smile again, she would still draw others to herself because of her numerous special qualities.
A student who believes in the concept of leaving a place better than one found it, Alex is a conscientious individual. Blessed with no shortage of intelligence, she is a member of honor societies and other extra-curricular groups. Able to balance numerous responsibilities, Alex holds down two jobs on campus plus another one out in the Grand Strand community.
The numerous jobs now will hopefully lead her to a major career down the road. Alex wants to become a physician assistant. Calling the human body “fascinating,” Alex touts the fact that the field is growing and that the opportunities to switch specialties are abundant.
Ask Alex if Coastal has put her in a position to achieve her dreams after graduation and she will answer in the affirmative. She will stress the resources available at CCU and credit the University with helping her “grow as a person.” Of course the relationship is reciprocal. Each day Alex has set foot on campus since arriving from Baltimore, she has advanced the University's Feel the Teal initiative with her outstanding attitude, one-of-a-kind smile and willingness to help. Enjoy your senior year, Alex!
