FIG Assistant: Pearl Vermilyea
Hi everyone! My name is Pearl and I will be the FIG assistant for "Brilliant Imperfections" with Professor Camisha Russell. I am going into my fourth year at the University of Oregon and I am majoring in psychology with a minor in Spanish and possibly disabilities studies. I was in the "Brilliant Imperfections" FIG my freshman year, and I am so excited to be returning as an assistant.
I am from San Francisco, California, and love living in Eugene because of its beautiful seasons, yummy food, and countless outdoor activities. I have really enjoyed my time at U of O so far and have made great friends. Along with the FYE program, I have joined the Kappa Delta Sorority and the "Student's for Choice" club. Clubs are a great way to get to know people with common interests and partake in amazing activities. On-campus, you will usually find me studying at the EMU with a Starbucks in hand, or if it's a nice day, reading on the grass.
I became a FIG assistant because I wanted to support freshmen through the challenging transition into the college lifestyle. I can't wait to get to know everyone and build an awesome FIG community. Enjoy the rest of your summer and see you in the Fall!
