Jon is an import -- grew up in North
Jersey and perhaps not going back. He
has served as Campus Philly’s
founding executive director since 2001,
following a position as the Marketing
Manager at philly2nite.com.
As the head of Campus Philly, Jon has
been recognized by regional organizations

On the side, Jon has occasionally been
known to design web sites or volunteer
for his wife's synagogue Kol Tzedek.
He thinks you should vote in the next
election, you should check out the water
ice at Fred's on 54th Street and Chester
Ave, and you should get 30 of your dearest
friends to sign up for Campus Philly's
list serve.

Director of Policy and Development
melanie@campusphilly.org
215.988.1707 x105
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.

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. |

Patrick Stump (of FOB), Johnny Depp
(she even has 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:
homework, when people used words incorrectly,
bragging, math, politics, spelling words
incorrectly to make them seem cooler
and cheese...

on Campus Philly’s fall notebook,
a completely awesome guide for college

Clare
Herlihy
Graduate Student Outreach - St. Joseph's
University
gradstudents@campusphilly.org
Clare is a Maryland native, who graduated
from St. Joe’s this spring with
a degree in English. She is continuing
to enjoy the best that City Avenue has
to offer as she completes her Master's
Degree in Writing Studies at SJU.
At Campus Philly, Clare is the Professional
Section Editor, where she attempts to
help her fellow students find some form
of employment after four magical years
in the college “bubble.”
When she is not hanging out on the couch
at the CP office, she enjoys working
out and catering to the fashion whims
of middle-aged women as a sales associate
for Talbot's. If she appears lost
in thought, it is probably because she
is daydreaming of her return to Galway,
Ireland, where she spent a semester
of her senior year. After graduation,
Clare plans to find public relations
work at an international company that
will pay for her to travel the world
in style. |
