The guidance counselor at the high school Alichia Leavy attended deserves the sincere gratitude of Coastal Carolina University. This particular counselor mentioned to Alichia that CCU would be a good fit for her. Taking the advice, Alichia became a Chanticleer and proved her high school mentor correct while at the same time making Coastal Carolina very happy.
Why so happy, you ask? Consider that Alichia is involved in six different clubs and organizations at Coastal, including serving as the president of the Coastal Carolina African American Association. Of her extracurricular activities, Alichia is a Teal Trailblazer (campus tour guide), and don’t think she does it just for the scenic walks around campus. Alichia says her favorite part of giving a tour is explaining to prospective students the amazing experiences she has enjoyed since enrolling at Coastal and how they can also thrive. Yes, a student who is deeply involved on campus and is passionate about her experience will make any university happy.
Alichia wants to become a teacher. Lucky for her, the profession is always looking for bright and dependable individuals to educate and influence young minds. If possible, Alichia would like to start her teaching career in the local area. We like that idea as well! Alichia, we are rooting for you and are excited to see the impact you make in the classroom.
