It’s hard to believe she used to keep to herself. According to Tiara, the changes happened with the help of her accounting professor, Kara Stevens. Professor Stevens saw that there was a talented accountant hiding underneath Tiara’s quiet personality. In the spring semester of 2016, Professor Stevens encouraged Tiara to showcase her accounting skills and apply for an internship at Chestnut Realty, a company managing the acquisitions, development, and leasing of commercial real estate in New England. Little did she know, this internship would allow her to come out of her shell! Three days after Tiara applied, Bill Steinberg from Chestnut Realty invited her for a panel Subscribe Share Past Issues Translate interview. The thought of being interviewed by 4 people made Tiara feel nervous, so she looked for ways to ease her anxiety. The day before the interview, Tiara did a ‘Power Pose’, based on a video she had seen in WEL310. She stood tall with her chest out and her hands on her hips just like Wonder Woman for two minutes. Another trick that she prepared was writing the word “smile” on the back of her portfolio in bright colors. When the anxiety kicked in during the interview, Tiara glanced at the back of her portfolio and reminded herself to smile and connect with her interviewers.

Women’s championship basketball team, 1939-40. Helena Mroczkowska Dow, was not only an Olympic fencing champion, but she flew planes! A member of the class of 1940 she was involved in student government, but it was her fencing prowess that brought her to national attention. She was a member of a remarkable Olympic family; her husband fenced in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin and was captain of the 1948 US Olympic fencing team. Helena fenced in the 1948 Olympics in London and her son, Robert, fenced sabre in the 1972 Olympics in Munich. It is believed that they are the only “Mother-Father-Son” trio in any sport in US Olympic history. The wrestling squad of 1945-46 went undefeated although they didn’t organize as a team until two years later. In the 1950’s Hofstra played baseball games at Ebbets Field against St. John’s. The Dodgers left town after the 1957 season and the demolition of the stadium began in February of 1960. This photo from 1951.
