LIFE AFTER
LEADERSHIP
BY KATE SULLIVAN
STAFF WRITER
After a year of hard
/% work and not
much spare time,
JLm JLjast year’s student
government leaders passed
their responsibilities to a
new group of dedicated stu
dents in April.
This time last year these
former student leaders were
busy scrambling to attend
meetings and form campus
policy in between their daily
schedules.
Checking in now, they’ve
taken different paths. One is
busy adapting to life in medi
cal school, another is taking
an administrative role just
down the road. Yet another
is continuing his research at
the University.
All are adjusting to the
change in pace as the spot
light begins to fade from
their time at the top.

Dearmin couldn’t pull himself
away from Chapel Hill after gradu
ating in May. He began his new job
down the road six weeks ago.
“To some degree (it’s) an exten
sion of what I was exposed to last
year as student body president,”
Dearmin said.
But before he joined the higher
education policy world, he and his
roommate took a one-way trip across
a northern route to the West Coast.
He said it was nice to not have any

But now he said he’s putting in
long hours at the office.
“It’s not the same sense of freedom
and carefreeness of being a student
... being able to go out on Franklin
Street multiple nights a week.”
Dearmin said he will hold the
position with the UNC system for
one year and then will consider
traveling or graduate school.

COURTESY OF MIKE BRADY
Mike Brady, last year's Graduate and Professional Student Federation presi
dent is using his newfound freedom to spend time with his daughter, Lana.
Name: Mike Brady
Former title: Graduate and
Professional Student Federation
Current job: graduate student
Still enrolled at UNC, former
GPSF President Mike Brady, now
spends his time with his daughter
and working on his research proj
ect.
“I’m leading a pretty simple life
now in comparison,” Brady said.
But he said he misses the link
to students he felt through student
government.
iaiU} 3ar Hfri
After graduating in May,
Johnson spent part of his sum
mer working in a lab and being an
umpire for girls’ softball teams in
Chatham County.
Johnson said the lessons he
learned from working with CAA
will help him with his future
endeavors.
“Asa physician I’ll be working
with all different types of people
working as part of a medical team
stuff we did all the time at
CAA.”
“It’s amazing how disconnected I
feel already, just having been away
for a few months,” he said.
After a four-year stint with stu
dent government, Brady said he will
find another way to get involved
again just nothing major.
But Brady said he still tries to
interact with students on campus.
“I still try to be a go-to person,” he
said. “Whenever I overhear people
talking about a problem I usually
stick my nose in and tell them where
they need to take their issues.”
