Wilzave Guzman, Senior, International and Global Studies, and Environmental Science major, St. Mary’s University

Thinking through my experiences at St. Mary's University, I have had opportunities to help my local community and also indigenous communities in Panama through my leadership role in Enactus. I have strived to serve others without expecting something in exchange and reminded myself that what I do now affects the present and the future. Working alongside people of different cultures, different majors and of different faith backgrounds without stumbling on my own beliefs is something I have learned how to better apply in my service — all thanks to my educational and co-curricular journeys as an international student at St. Mary's University. Despite our differences, we all need each other to empower and to grow, to serve one another in the spirit of the Marianist charism.
