Get-to-Know: Steven Sweat, Beaty West GHD 2009-2010


Hello again all and happy Monday. Today I'd like to introduce to you Steven Sweat, the GHD who will be leading Beaty West in the Fall. Happy Reading! (That's Steven there on the left with an unidentified friend).

SHORT BIOGRAPHY: Hello new friends of UF! I’m Steven Sweat, first year Graduate Hall Director in Beaty Towers West. I’m currently seeking my Masters in the Student Personnel in Higher Education program at UF and hope to graduate in 2011 to search for full-time professional positions in Housing and Residence Life at a college or university. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with a Minor in Music Performance from Clemson University in Clemson, SC; and graduated from Lower Richland High School, located in Hopkins, SC, in 2005 in the top 1% of my graduating class. I was a Resident Assistant at Clemson University for 3 years, primarily working with Freshman and Honors students, and have been involved in several student organizations including the Resident Hall Association, the Clemson Gay-Straight Alliance, the Clemson University Symphony Orchestra, Clemson’s Safe Zone program, and many more! I’m an avid fan and supporter of music of all kinds, from Classical to New Age and beyond. I’m very sociable with others, but do know when it’s time to be alone for self-reflection and rest. I look forward to being involved with UF’s on-campus life and learning what it means to be a Gator. *SNAP*

A DAY IN MY LIFE LOOKS LIKE: Waking up, checking Facebook, getting in a few cartoons, tons of meetings depending on the day, checking Facebook, rendezvous with a few friends and colleagues, homework/studying, checking out late-night TV, checking Facebook. Oh!...and of course my 3 square meals and my 8-hours of sleep….or less. LOL! Did I mention checking Facebook?

TV SHOWS I WATCH: TOO many to type. But on average I usually watch anime, sitcoms, sitcoms from years ago, cartoons, cartoons from years ago, some reality shows, etc. A full list of shows can be found on my Facebook page.

ON MY IPOD RIGHT NOW: The many theme songs to a few animes I watch, including Bleach, Code Geass, and Sailor Moon….and I can tell not many know what I’m talking about at this point. LOL!

I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT MY…: Ipod, cell phone, laptop, and my intense sociability.

MY MYERS-BRIGGS TYPE/TRUE COLORS COLOR: ENFJ/*It’s been a while since I did True Colors, so I kind of forgot. :-/

WHAT I REALLY LIKE ABOUT MY JOB: I can go above and beyond the call of duty in making a difference in residents’ lives, getting them involved in the campus community, and helping them reap all the benefits of on-campus living!

BIGGEST PET PEEVE: Waiting for extended periods of time (standing in lines, rush hour traffic, waiting for trains to cross, following slow interstate drivers, dial-up connections, etc.).

ONE THING ABOUT ME THAT I'M PROUD OF: I love myself; therefore, I’m more capable of loving and appreciating others.

IF I DIDN'T HAVE THIS JOB I WOULD BE: An Assistant Residence Hall Coordinator at Illinois State University.

  1. Hello all!

    Just to clarify my "unindentified friend," she's the new president for Clemson's Residence Hall Association. She's an amazing person! This picture should give an initial look of how social and open I am, as well as how involved I will be in UF's Res Life and organizations like IRHA! (^_^)
