Haylie Schmoll, a second year student at Otterbein University, is an exceptional scholar, a charismatic campus leader, a change agent, and an inspirational steward of our community. Haylie currently serves as a CardinalCorps Leader on campus, recruiting over 1000 student volunteers each year to serve the needs of our central Ohio community through student service organizations. She also facilitates a leadership program for at-risk teen girls, developing innovative strategies to help girls succeed. In her first year at Otterbein, Haylie founded The Promise House, a student-led volunteer resource center, free café and food pantry to break down socioeconomic barriers to student success. She has hosted student gatherings on campus to identify obstacles under-resourced students face when trying to complete their college journey, and has mobilized a team of peers to address concerns about food insecurity, textbooks, transportation, and other critical barriers to student achievement. Based on her research and food justice training, she is now developing a statewide network of college students ready to work together to break down socioeconomic obstacles in higher education.
