Spring Break
Hopkins's Top Model benefits Dream to Reality foundation
Issue date: 12/4/08
Bill Tiefenwerth, director of the Center for Social Concern, Salmah Rizvi, founder of Vision Xchange and Carrie Bennett, security liaison, judged the event.
According to several attendees, the event was a success.
"The event exceeded my expectations because I thought it was going to be really disorganized because I haven't been to that many student events. I was just surprised because I didn't really think it would be so professional looking, and it was cool to hear the ambassador from Haiti," freshman Hannah Holliday said.
Additionally, the models reported having an enjoyable time. "There was a lot of group bonding back stage," Mirski said. "We were all excited to be there to represent our groups."
"It was really cool and the guy in the Santa suit [John "J.J." Giampa representing Pi Kappa Alpha] was pretty awesome. I definitely made new friends and I learned that the upperclassmen aren't as scary as I thought they were," freshman participant John Pierre Cardenas, who represented the Filipino Student Association, said.
Cardenas said he got involved because "my personality fit the whole modeling thing and [FSA knew] I wouldn't feel uncomfortable."
Cardenas said he thought that the voting process should have been better publicized alongside the event.
"Most of the participants didn't know that the voting would require money, so lots of people [who were modeling] didn't invite their friends or the people they invited didn't know to bring extra money to donate. Because of that they didn't get a lot of votes," Cardenas said.
