Better Know a Member--Steve Carriere!




Name: Steve Carriere

Institution:
Emory University

Position:
Residential Complex Director

What brings joy to your professional life?
For me, it is all about the special connections that I am able to make with my students and colleagues.

If you could be a candy bar, which would you be and why?
Something chocolate from outside the US because I value the perspective of being a global citizen and embrace a very international point of view.

What did you want to grow up to be when you were 10 years old?
A National Geographic photographer! I love animals and thought the idea of traveling to “wild” places to take pictures sounded amazing. Actually…I still do!

Name somebody who has /have made a difference to you in your professional life. How so?
Dr. Margaret Sallee. She was my masters program advisor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She not only successfully guided me through my program, but she served as an inspiration daily!

If you had to work on only one project for the next year, what would it be?
Planning and implementing a study abroad program.

What is your favorite food?
Thai food hands down, although no one in the US makes it quite like my host mother in Thailand did!

If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?
Sing! Although I don’t think that singing well is really learned as much as it is a gift given at birth!

How are you involved in ACPA or the SCGSNP?
I have been an ACPA member for over 3 years, attended convention 3 times, and have served the SCGSNP in a couple of capacities with my most current involvement as one of the Membership Coordinators.

What is your favorite color?
Do I really have to choose one? Life is a rainbow!

What is a personal motto that you live by?
Love yourself, love others, and love your life.
