Rowan University ProfPals
What is ProfPals?
ProfPals is a program designed to help all students at Rowan feel a sense of connection and belonging while facilitating student engagement with the Thrive dimensions of well-being.
What does all that mean? It means that ProfPals help students by highlighting events on campus that might be of interest, going to events and bringing others along for the ride, and being a connection students can have on campus. Students are encouraged to reach out to a ProfPal to make a connection - especially if they are finding it challenging to make connections, or attend events. The ProfPal will assist students with engaging in various events and activities on campus, highlighting all of the wonderful resources Rowan has to offer.
How do I reach out to a ProfPal?
ProfPals have listed below their profiles, which is the easiest way to reach them directly. You may also join the ProfPals GroupMe to chat!
What happens after I reach out to a ProfPal?
After reaching out to a ProfPal, they will touch base with you to link up.
Hi, I’m Paul! I’m in my senior year, majoring in Computing & Informatics with a minor in Marketing. I’m a big fan of Nintendo games, live music events, and horror movies. Spanish is my first language—my accent may be a bit off, but I’m fully fluent! When it comes to music, I love all kinds, but 2000s pop and 2010s rap are my favorites. You’ll often find me at school events (I try to go to as many as possible) or just strolling around campus. I love learning new things and would definitely call myself a jack of all trades. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect!

Hi, my name is Razan and I’m a junior, and my major is International Studies. I’m originally from Sudan (North Africa), and my first language is Arabic. My unique journey instilled in me a profound interest in human rights and diverse cultures. This year I’m planning on improving my well-being by allocating time for my academic pursuit, personal life, and social activities, making sure that I’m not only focusing on school but also enjoying life. Let’s connect, learn from each other, and celebrate our differences.

Hi everyone, I’m Pia from Germany! I’m completing my Master's of Business Administration with a specialization in Supply Chain and Logistical Systems and I’m currently in my second semester. I also work as a main office assistant at the Rowan Recreation Center. If you see me on shift, or in the Zumba and Yoga group fitness classes, come say hi! I love sunshine and good weather, the ocean, reading books of all genres, and listening to music, especially all songs by Harry Styles. When I’m not too busy with assignments, I like to go for walks on campus and hang out with my friends. I also love to cook vegetarian meals at home. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone around and getting to know you better!

Hi, I’m Rishika Dwipi! I’m currently a grad student majoring in Data Science. A bit about me—I’m really into flowers, especially roses, Bollywood music, handbags, and of course, shopping! I love watching sitcoms and thrillers to relax after a long day. One of my favorite things about being on campus is the chance to meet people from different backgrounds and get involved in all the activities around here.
I enjoy spending time in the Student Center. Whether it’s campus meetups, workshops, or just hanging out with friends in the quad, I love being part of the energy and community here. I’m always open to chatting about classes, and projects, or just sharing what’s been going on in your day.
I am looking forward to meeting you all and making this semester a fun and memorable one!

Hi! I'm Lindsay and I've been at Rowan for almost 9 years. I majored in Psychology in college with a minor in Studio Art. I love anything involving sports and competition, so don't be surprised if you see me at the Rec Center playing pickleball or out on the softball field. Some of the ways I tend to aspects of my well-being include reading a good book (and talking about it), playing board games, and doing anything outdoors. I'm excited about working with the ProfPals because I believe our students can learn such important information from one another, and I want all of our Rowan students to feel connected and supported.

Hey there! My name is Chrissy. I have been working at Rowan for just over a year but prior to that I enjoyed working with students all over the country! I am originally from Long Island, NY. I love bright lipstick, gold hoop earrings and coffee. You will find me on campus walking my Pitbull Rosie, visiting different art exhibits or walking while listening to a podcast. This year I am focusing on improving my well-being by finding new ways to move my body and making more time for rest. I really value what I have been able to learn about my well-being through the experiences of others, so I am excited to be supporting the ProfPals as they work to build connections for that same type of community learning.
