Sodelys Hilario ’19
Sodelys Hilario always knew she wanted to work with kids. It wasn’t until she came to SUNY Potsdam, however, that she realized she was meant to be a teacher. As a senior majoring in early childhood/childhood education, Hilario has had the opportunity to work with children of different ages, both as a mentor in the College’s Rebecca V.

All would like to survive the fog of Covid-19 with some measure of their pre-pandemic fitness intact.
