Recipient: Ludmeya Renois
Bachelor of Science in Nursing
Ludmeya Renios, better known as Ludy,
has been an active member on campus
throughout her time at Gwynedd Mercy
University. Ludy joined the Student
Activities Committee (SAC) as a first-year
student and continued to climb the ranks
into the club’s Executive Council, serving
first as Communications Liaison and finally
as President.
Ludy also served as a Resident Assistant
for two years, worked as a peer mentor,
and participated in the Griffin Student
Leadership Institute, all while juggling a rigorous course schedule. She put the
skills and values she learned in the classroom and has worked for the last two
years as a home help aid where she assesses the needs of her patients and provides
care.
She took those leadership experiences and along with three other students
worked hard to reestablish the University’s Black Student Union. As its Vice
President, Ludy helped provide a safe space for students of color and to education
the University Community on current issues facing people of color.
Ludy has impacted the student body and ensured a legacy that will last beyond
her time here. There is no doubt that she will take these lessons of Mercy into her
career as a nurse, as she believes you need Mercy to be the best nurse you can be.
