She is a senior at Hofstra University with a double major in anthropology and criminology and is excited to be graduating a semester early this December! In addition to her academic studies, Nora has been very active and involved on campus with club sports and student organizations. Wanting to try something completely new during her first year at Hofstra, Nora joined the club rowing team and spent two incredibly fun years on it! She also served on the Student Government Association as a member of the Senate and a member of the Programming Board. Nora has been an active member of Hofstra’s Model United Nations, where she has served as chairperson for two of its high school conferences. Nora has also completed the Blue and Gold Leadership Programs through the Office of Student Leadership and Activities, which was an incredible experience and helped her to grow as a student leader. She co-founded the Anthropology Club during her sophomore year and currently serves as the president. In her free time, Nora loves to run and exercise at the Mack Fitness Center, which is where she is currently employed during the academic year. She also loves to read, drink tea, and research different archaeological sites that she hopes to visit and work on one day! Christian Ladigoski ‘16 Christian Ladigoski comes right from Long Island, raised in Smithtown, N.Y. He is a junior and is very excited for the last two years of his college experience. Christian is inspired in several ways with a technical mindset as an engineering major, but also as a creative musician, composer and broadcaster. He always has an optimistic outlook on life and loves making new friends and relationships with others. Around campus, you can find Christian utilizing his engineering/ operations experience at WRHU-88.7 FM, Radio Hofstra University, and also as vice president of the Hofstra University Robotics Academy. Christian is also a film composer and sound editor for the Hofstra Filmmakers Club, as well as a movie buff with great passion for motion pictures and film scores. He is a Pride Guide in the Office of Admission and loves sharing his previous experiences at Hofstra with others. Christian is eager to make a difference in his community and the people he interacts with because that is what gives him energy to do the things he loves the most. His ultimate goal is to have a knowledgeable engineering background and take that technical mind and apply it to a creative field. Whether it’s broadcasting, music or film, Christian is always happy, expressive and caring with everything he does. The world is full of many options and having an open mind with your life is a choice that Christian inspires others to make. Batson Xiang Li ‘16 Born in China alongside the border to Russia, Batson’s childhood was heavily influenced by both Chinese and Russian culture. Batson wrote his first script at the age of 12 when he began his journey as a creative writer. As he entered adulthood, his creativity and love for life had made it a very exciting and joyful transition. Batson has become an innovator of ideas and wishes to create a better world for everyone. In his college career, he works and studies as an extremely organized and responsible adult – thanks to the discipline taught by his parents at an early age. To extend his interests in both literature and theatre, he has a double major in creative writing and English, with a minor in business and design. Aside from his busy academic schedule, he also manages to be involved in several on-campus organizations, including Entertainment Unlimited and Fashion Ave. As a junior and a returning Welcome Week coordinator, Batson sets high goals in order to achieve an awesome life and college experience for both himself and all of the new students. 2 (L-R) Batson Xiang Li, Nora Heidel and Christian Ladigoski 3 But First, Let Me Take a Selfie!
