Reality Competitions and Orientation Service Among “Tea Time” Topics
University President Sue Thomas welcomed Star Alexander for a recent episode of “Tea Time with Sue.”
A junior psychology major from St. Charles, Mo., Alexander is active in Phi Sigma Pi and Psi Chi. They have also served the University as a student ambassador and a visit host. This summer will mark their third time serving as an orientation leader. Alexander shared how they enjoy helping new students start their Truman careers, and they particularly enjoyed working with the commuter students last fall when the team took first place in the Truman Week College Cup Challenge.
During the course of the conversation, Alexander also discussed their psychology research on overthinking in academia, as well as their love of reality television shows and how their ability to imitate Toad from the Mario franchise helped win a karaoke contest.
The entire podcast conversation can be found on the Truman Spotify channel. Follow Truman on social media for video excerpts from “Tea Time with Sue.” The complete video is also posted on the Truman YouTube channel.
Throughout the school year, President Thomas will welcome guests for one-on-one chats that shine a light on the people and things that make Truman the special place it is. New episodes will be announced in the Truman Today as they become available. Guests for “Tea Time with Sue” can be nominated at truman.edu/teatime.
