Riley Petitjean
Riley is a freshman from Osage City, KS majoring in Communications, and is currently working towards a certificate in leadership. Riley is the Vice-President of Victor E. and Hansen Hall Community Council and the Fort Hays State Rotaract Club. She also is apart of the Fort Hays State Honor Society, Leadership Studies Association, and Catholic Tigers. Riley chose to get involved with the Leadership Programs to further cultivate her leadership skills and learn how to promote positive change and growth in her community.
“ My favorite Leadership class I have taken would be Discovering Leadership with Mr. Greenleaf. The class was interactive, and I learned so many new things about leadership that I had not previously realized. One of the biggest takeaways I took from the class is that leadership is a process, not a position. I am excited to take my current Leadership course, Introduction to Leadership Behavior, this semester.”
Outside of school, Riley loves creating art, listening to music, and trying new restaurants around Hays!
