Allison Fugger

Columbus, Ohio | Business Economics Major, Latin American Studies Minor

Allison Fugger’s nominator wrote that Allison is a prime example of the power Miamians can have when they can showcase true acts of Love and Honor without the need to be recognized. She has served as an orientation leader, as an undergraduate associate in Latin American studies, as a volunteer at Kramer Elementary and St. Mary’s Church here in Oxford, and completed a financial forecasting internship with Cardinal Health.

Allison’s depth or service, however, comes in her three years as a resident assistant for first-year students in Morris Hall, where she focuses all of her energies on the college transition and success of her residents, while also being a successful student herself. This sense of care was heightened when Allison had a resident pass away in an incident that made national news. In addition to helping the student’s roommate through the extremely difficult time, Allison went out of her way to make herself available to the other students on the corridor, console the student’s friends, and maintain the rest of her responsibilities as an RA. Her nominator wrote that Allison persevered through an incredibly hard time and was a role model to her students.
