Roman Kalaczinski

Hi everyone! My name is Roman, and I am going to be one of the HSSP RA's this year! I am a senior majoring in public health on the pre-med track and I'm from Grand Rapids, MI. I was a HSSPer my first year and then a peer mentor my sophomore year. I was an traditional RA last year in Mosher Jordan, but I love the HSSP community so much that I wanted to come back this year! HSSP provided me with broader understanding of the opportunities within health care, helped me build personal and professional connections, and made me feel more confident about navigating the craziness of being pre-health. I can confidently say I would not be where I am today without the friends and mentors that I've gained through HSSP, and I encourage you all to really lean into this community because its pretty amazing! Outside of being a HSSP RA, I volunteer with the Gifts of Art program at Michigan Medicine and with Wolverine Street Medicine, I do research at the Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention, I am the Spectrum Center committee lead for CURIS - Public Health Advocacy, and I am the Freshman Development Chair for Alpha Epsilon Delta.

I am so excited to be back in HSSP and to be a resource for you all, feel free to reach out whenever you need help or just want to chat!
