Randolph-Macon College student Kaitlyn Dmytryszyn ’13 is a communication studies major and ethics and religious studies minor. And that’s just the beginning.

Getting Involved
Dmytryszyn, a Louisa, Virginia native, is a member of numerous campus organizations: Panhellenic Council, Greek Ministries, Habitat for Humanity, Concert Choir, and Chamber Singers. Her most treasured affiliation, though, is Alpha Gamma Delta sorority.

“By the spring of my freshman year I had experienced such incredible sisterhood through Alpha Gamma Delta that I knew I was in the right place,” she says. “Alpha Gam is a very important part of my life. The Greek community at R-MC is so tight-knit and does such wonderful things on campus and in the community. My sorority, for example, works with the Alpha Gamma Delta foundation to help sisters in need and to fund Juvenile Diabetes research.”

Dmytryszyn also gives back to the community through her work as vice-president of service for the Panhellenic Council, the governing body over all of the Greek women’s organizations on campus.

“We work with Ashland’s Rescue Road Warriors, a program that saves animals from kill shelters,” she says. “We play with the dogs and help clean their cages. This has been such a successful project, with many students from the Greek organizations on campus participating.”

Major Decision
A Dean’s Award scholarship recipient, Dmytryszyn says that communication studies is an exciting major that offers a wide variety of classes.

“I jumped around a bit from major to major until I realized that communication studies is where my passion was all along,” she says. “I especially love studying mass media communications, but I like that at R-MC a communication studies major covers many different areas.”

Future Plans
During her junior year, Dmytryszyn attended a resume-writing workshop in the Center for Personal and Career Development.

“I am setting my post-R-MC sights on a job in public relations,” she says, “and having a professional resume is really helpful. Ideally I’d like to be a major-events planner for a non-profit organization. I have been exploring options in the New York City and Boston areas.”
