Dylan Joachim, a sophomore at Washington & Jefferson College, always has a full schedule, allowing his best attributes to shine through as he balances it all. From a young age, Dylan’s mother always encouraged him to “be active” in the community to avoid letting life slip away.

A simple goal yet one that we all strive for. Dylan attempts to achieve this goal through his daily interactions and also the positions that he holds on campus.

He has found a way to spread peace, love, and prosperity. “If my residents needed something right now I would have to go do that,” Dylan
