An active member of the JMU community since her freshman year, Lexie is a well-known figure on campus, even if she’s not always in the spotlight.
Year: Senior
Major: Chemistry
Campus Involvement: SafeRides special events director, SR team leader, Madison Advising Peer, FROG, Iota Sigma Pi
How did you become a Madison Advising Peer?
I actually had no idea what being a “MAP” even meant, but the chemistry department asked me to take the job, so I did. I don’t have an exciting story about it. It’s a cool job because I get to help people form their schedules and achieve their goals.
You were recently inducted into Iota Sigma Pi; can you tell us about that?
It is a secret society—just kidding; I wish. It is a national honors society for women in chemistry. It’s a great opportunity to get to support a bunch of smart girls.
How has SafeRides impacted your JMU experience?
I wasn’t the best person in high school, and SafeRides changed me by surrounding me with really great, nice people. Being a team leader was an amazing experience. Hotwheelz for life!
Favorite JMU memory?
When I went to Lakeland, Florida for ASB to work with migrant children.
Favorite class?

The fourth floor of ECL. Is that nerdy? E-hall is probably my favorite, actually.
