Some of you may have noticed some changes happening around the SPC Allstate Campus – mostly personnel right now. I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Rebecca Sarver (you can call me Becca) and I have just moved into the position of Student Life and Leadership Coordinator on the Allstate Campus. I will not only have a hand in the coordination of student government, clubs, events and activities on campus – but I will also be a major contributor to this blog and our Allstate Facebook Page. I wanted to tell you a little about myself.

I was born and raised in Bradenton, FL, where I still reside. After graduating high school, I attended Florida State University (Go Noles!) and earned my Bachelor’s degree in Criminology/Criminal Justice. After graduating in 2009, I joined the U.S. Peace Corps and spent my service in Kalale, Benin in West Africa. Coming back from Benin, I wanted a more “traditional 9-to-5” and got a job at a local bank. After working for the bank for three years, I decided on a career change and joined the SPC team. I worked with the Downtown and Midtown campuses for my first year as a Career Specialist and am so happy to join the Allstate team.

Personally, I love to be active! From November to March, you can find me training for running races and from April to October, it’s triathlon season. I prefer tri season to running (it engages my mind and makes the time pass quickly!). I like to joke that I only run to offset my eating; I have a total sweet tooth that I fight against daily.

Fast Facts:

• My favorite type of cuisine is Peruvian.
• My favorite place I’ve traveled is the Netherlands.
• My favorite place to relax is anywhere by the water!
• My favorite type of music is Oh gosh! Too many! I love Jack Johnson in the background when I’m working, Motown when I want to sing, and Pat Benatar when I’m feeling pumped up.
• My favorite sports team is Green Bay Packers!! (And of course, my Noles!)
• My favorite thing about working for SPC is that I like what I’m selling (futures where students can be successful!)

I can’t wait to work with you all to make the SPC Allstate Campus even more awesome than it already is. If you have any questions – or just want to come by and say hi – please come visit! You can find me in Student Services AC114K, email me sarver.rebecca@spcollege.edu, or call me (727)341-4480.

See you soon!

P.S. I’m going to be doing event calendars each month to let you know what’s happening. They look like the one pictured here. Keep your eye out here and and on Facebook to know what’s happening around campus!
