But Dean of Students Melissa Jones had a secret to share. As she straightened the soon-to-be grad\u2019s regalia on that sunny Saturday morning, she asked a question: \u201cHave you checked your email?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was thinking,\u00a0\u2018no, of course not, I\u2019m <em>graduating<\/em>,\u2019 \u201d said Long, last year\u2019s SGA president <em>and <\/em>Class of 2024 vice president, who spent her college career digging deeper and deeper into student affairs. Now, as she peered at her phone, just before crossing the stage at Commencement, she saw a message that brought her to tears. She\u2019d won the Undergraduate Rising Star Award from NASPA, the national organization for the field of student affairs in higher education. Better yet, the people behind it were the Mary Washington administrators she most admired.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis award is a reflection of the mentorship that these three phenomenal women have poured into me as a student leader,\u201d Long said of Jones, Vice President for Student Affairs Juliette Landphair and Associate Provost for Equity and Inclusion Shavonne Shorter, who each penned a nomination letter to NASPA on Long\u2019s behalf. \u201cI felt like all the work I had done over my four years at Mary Wash was truly complete.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She picked up the prize in person last month at the NASPA Region III Summer Symposium in Orlando. It gave her, she said, access to pros in the field, networking opportunities and inspiration. She\u2019ll head to Boston College this fall to pursue a master&#8217;s degree in higher education administration.<\/p>\n<p>When Long arrived at UMW in 2020, Covid was doing its best to shut down social life, but she plunged in anyway, landing first-year posts as SGA senator and chair of the Diversity Unity Coordinating Committee. She worked as a resident assistant, diversity peer educator, R.I.S.E peer mentor, and senior student coordinator for both New Student Programs and Student Activities and Engagement, all while majoring in biomedical sciences.<\/p>\n<p>As she gained ground, she held onto her major, but her career focus started to shift. \u201cShe decided to pursue student affairs, which has thrilled the faculty and staff who work with her,\u201d Landphair wrote in her letter to NASPA. \u201cWe know that both our field and higher education will be made better by Jaylyn\u2019s professional commitments and work.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_103172\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-103172\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"103172\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2024\/07\/09\/student-affairs-rising-star-award-goes-to-recent-umw-grad\/img_2250\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/IMG_2250-scaled.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"1920,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 13&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1718882825&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.1&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.000267022696929&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Jaylyn Long &amp;#8217;24 &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/IMG_2250-225x300.jpeg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/IMG_2250-768x1024.jpeg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-103172\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/IMG_2250-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Jaylyn Long '24 poses in Orlando.

She had people from all across campus take ownership of each day and help plan it out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In their nominations, the administrators praised Long\u2019s ability to think strategically, build partnerships and execute her vision.
