"Hello, I'm Najwa, and I'm incredibly enthusiastic about being a peer leader here at Hudson County Community College (HCCC). I firmly believe in leading by example and inspiring my peers to reach their full potential. HCCC isn't just a college to me; it's a warm and inclusive home where we all unite to learn, grow, and create a positive impact. With my proficiency in Arabic, French, and English, I'm here to assist and support my fellow students in any way I can. Together, let's make HCCC a place where everyone feels empowered and valued!"

"Hi! My name is Lisa Camacho and my major is Business Administration. I am one of the new Peer Leaders at HCCC for this upcoming school year! I wanted to become a Peer Leader to help out other students who are adjusting to a new college lifestyle like I did when I came to Hudson for the first time. My goal is to be a friendly face all students can come to whenever they need support."

"As a student leader, I've had the privilege of serving my peers and making a positive impact on campus. Whether it's organizing events, advocating for student rights, or fostering a sense of community, being a student leader has allowed me to develop valuable skills such as communication, leadership, and professionalism. As a Human Service student Ive been able to incorporate my Social Work ethics. I understand the importance of listening to the concerns of others, being adaptable in challenging situations, and leading by example. Being a student leader has not only enriched my college experience but has also prepared me for future leadership roles in both academic and professional settings."
