A biomedical sciences major with an African American studies minor, she\u2019s Student Government Association (SGA) president and Class of 2024 vice president. She\u2019s a diversity peer educator, R.I.S.E peer mentor and \u2013 perhaps most importantly \u2013 a senior student coordinator for both New Student Programs and Student Activities and Engagement. And that\u2019s just for starters.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know I can\u2019t do it all, but that never stops me from trying,\u201d said Long, the first Black woman to serve in the roles of SGA president and<\/em> vice president at UMW. \u201cIt really wouldn\u2019t be possible without the faculty support and the people who look out for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

She brought her \u201cpower to the people\u201d personality, as her mom likes to call it, to campus in 2020, amid a global pandemic. Despite social distancing and other restrictions brought on by COVID-19, she plunged into student government, laying the groundwork for priorities like diversity and community values. By the time campus roared back to life, a new passion and career path were sliding into view, thanks to mentors galore.<\/p>\n

\u201cWatching people who look like me and thrive in higher education really charted a different course for me,\u201d said Long, who traded medicine for aspirations of a career in student engagement. \u201cI really enjoyed getting into the thick of things and making a difference for my peers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Growing up in Chesapeake, Virginia, she\u2019d always been one to get involved, helping form her high school\u2019s first multicultural club. She came to UMW in the R.I.S.E. (Resources Inspiring Student Excellence) peer mentoring program, designed to smooth the transition to college.<\/p>\n

And it did. Long landed posts her first year as SGA senator and chair of the Diversity Unity Coordinating Committee. \u201cShe\u2019s always prioritizing the student voice,\u201d said Dean of Students and Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Melissa Jones. \u201cPeople trust Jaylyn to make really good choices for the good of the whole.\u201d<\/p>\n

When masks and Zoom meetings gave way to in-person proceedings, her future began to slide into focus. \u201cOnce I got to see events happening, it really shifted my mindset,\u201d said Long, who stuck with her biomed major but traded a minor in chemistry for something more personal, African American studies.<\/p>\n

Buoyed by campus mentors \u2013 Jones, along with James Farmer Multicultural Center Director Marion Sanford, and Associate Provost for Equity and Inclusion and Chief Diversity Officer Shavonne Shorter, to name a few \u2013 Long kept climbing. As a junior, she served as SGA vice president, and by senior year she\u2019d claimed the presidency, following in the footsteps of another role model, Brianna Reaves \u201922, the first Black woman to hold that position.<\/p>\n

ASPIRE Week \u2013 a six-day celebration that d\u00e9buted last spring to breathe new life into core Mary Washington values like accountability, respect and engagement \u2013 was Long\u2019s brainchild, launched in reaction to what she was hearing from fellow students. \u201cFor me, activism is saying what needs to be said, getting feedback, creating events that have meaningful impact and being part of the change.\u201d<\/p>\n

And talk about change.<\/p>\n

Something in Jaylyn Long\u2019s journey sparked a passion to make people\u2019s college experience as vibrant as hers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not one path, it\u2019s multiple paths,\u201d she said. \u201cI think that\u2019s what a place like UMW has allowed me to realize. There are multiple paths to reach fulfillment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
