Melanie is excited to return
Philadelphia after a brief time
away to work on her PhD in Higher
Education and Student Affairs
at Indiana University. She
graduated from Temple University
in 1997 where she served as Vice
President and President of Student
Government. Professionally,
Melanie has been involved in student
life on many levels including
positions in student activities,
Greek life, and leadership development.
Recently, she has decided to learn
more about the behind the scenes
activities in higher education
including what gets students involved
and engaged in a campus community
and understanding why college
students work and how their work
impacts a community and its economy.
There are many things that Melanie
is looking forward to reuniting
with in Philadelphia, but good
cup of coffee at Beau Monde, soft
pretzels, and Ritz movies are
at the top of her list.

If there's one thing that Brittany likes,
it's music. It's a lifestyle, seriously.
She even owns about 900 CDs and is always
reviewing concerts. You should say hi.
Other things (and people) that Brittany
likes include: Patrick Stump (of FOB),
Johnny Depp (she used to have a poster in
her cubicle), iced tea, movies, words
being used correctly, procrastinating,
taking pictures, magazines, hanging
with her friends, her puppy, laughing,internet
blogs, rocks, reading, traveling and
so many more great conversation starters.
Things that Brittany does not like include:
when people used words incorrectly,
bragging, math, politics, spelling words
incorrectly to make them seem cooler
and cheese...

Leyla
Eraslan
Community
Engagement Fellow,
La Salle University
'07
leyla@campusphilly.org
215.988.1707
Leyla got her start in the small, unassuming
South Jersey town of Pemberton. Upon realizing
that no one’s ever heard of Pemberton,
she began telling people she was from
Philadelphia. Eventually, her fibs caught
up with her and she was actually forced
to move to the city.
Luckily, Campus Philly liked the looks
of her and hired her through the Philly
Fellows program after she graduated from
La Salle University, where she majored
in English and minored in Sociology. As
the Campus Philly Community Engagement
Fellow, she aids in forming relations
with nonprofits, planning civic engagement
events, and hugging coworkers and the
occasional tree.
In her spare time, she can be found hanging
out with friends and loved ones, sweeping
sidewalks and accepting spare change from
strangers.
