Crushing COVID Winner - Riana Sidelinger

Unsung Hero
Riana Sidelinger

The nature of Riana’s position is to be behind the scenes, but her work is omnipresent and too often taken for granted. As the public face of the Mariners Sports platforms, Riana publicizes athletes as a primary function. This year, she introduced an innovative mental health awareness campaign, Mental Health Mondays, to go alongside the informative content she already provides. Riana didn’t flinch when asked to step in and help layout a huge chunk of the yearbook or when she was asked to help fill gaps in the College Relations Office. She is a one-woman machine that does the work of full, multi-person staffs on other campuses and backfills short-staffed areas elsewhere on campus.
