Chillin' with .. . Jane Bello-Brunson Director of Multicultural Programs

What led you to the field of Multicultural affairs? I went into Multicultural Affairs because I wanted to be in a position where I could help students develop their full potential, holis- tically; where I could mentor; where I could be in a position to teach students how to affect change; and, of course, help students succeed academically.

Who has been the most influential figure in your life? If I had to choose, it would be my parents. Of course, I SENIOR PORTRAITS didn't realize this until I was older. First, my mother was Nov. 3 ~ 10:00 - 5:00 All portraits will be taken in the Belfry, influential because she instilled in me the desire to be a Nov. 4 ~ 10:00 - 5:00 upper level of the Union.

She always introduced me as few of the details of her life. 'My daughter, she has a Master's degree," which was a bit embarrassing at times, but I knew she was proud so I tolerated it. Another influential person in my life was my stepfather. He was the epitome of patience, kindness and what a sense of humor! He was (and still is) a great role model. He genuinely embraced all people.

What items do you keep on your desk? A pottery bowl made by my daughter in junior high. When she brought it home she was very disappointed because she said her art teacher criticized the mix of colors she chose to make the piece. The teacher said that the colors she used were not compatible. Was she wrong! Shame on that teacher for discouraging risk taking and creativity. I also have a picture of my daughter taken during her senior year.

What is the first thing you do when you arrive home from work? I take off my shoes, change into sweats and push my hair back with a headband. If you saw me you would not recognize me because I would be shabbily dressed.

If you could change one thing about your life, what would it be? This is a tough question because everything in my past has shaped who I am today and has brought me to this place in time. I had an opportunity to visit Germany and see Europe when I was 19 years old (all- expenses paid). I got married instead of going, when, in retrospect, I could have postponed the wedding and experienced Europe. At the time, getting married seemed like the most important thing in the world, think that students should travel abroad if they have the opportunity. It broadens your perspective of life
