Merida Allen

What are you most proud of being affiliated with SUA?
Giving back to a community that gave so much to me! I most appreciate being able to learn, support, and advocate for the school's growth and be a resource to students who are navigating their academic and personal journeys at a critical time in their development.

What SUA Core Value is most meaningful to you, and why?
Community and Leadership are the two most meaningful to me because these values shaped and prepared me to serve my community as a student. The inextricable link to inclusive excellence and dimensions of diversity is imperative and contributes to the success of every student, the SUA community, and society. SUA's mission communicates its commitment to holistic development; I embraced my multi-ethnic identity, engaged in intentional faith formation, and developed life-long leadership skills being an Arrow.
