Ryan MacRae has been a member of the SU 校友 Board of Directors since 2010. Having been involved with many organizations and events while a student on campus, MacRae has been able to give insight about what’s happening on campus and how our alumni board can affect students, 教职员工.
After graduating from SU, MacRae became a substitute teacher for Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) in January 2010. He is also a substitute teacher for Winchester City Schools.
“Everyday is a challenge working in this classroom, 然而, I have enjoyed every assignment tremendously,麦克雷说.
Along with working with substituting, MacRae can be seen on campus and at many university events as he also works for Sodexo 餐饮服务, the exclusive caterer for Shenandoah. He is the receiving supervisor. Prior to this position, he was a cashier, caterer, catering supervisor and dining hall supervisor.
“In my position at FCPS I am thrilled when my students learn and understand what is being taught to them,麦克雷解释道. “With Sodexo, I am gaining a lot of leadership experience by being a supervisor.”
MacRae is an Eagle Scout with the Boy Scouts of America. Working with young boys through this program made him realize that he likes helping people, working with children and being involved in many different situations. In his positions at FCPS and Sodexo, he is able to do all of this.
Looking at his time at Shenandoah, he feels he has never left. 学生时代, he was the equipment manager for football and men’s lacrosse, worked with 居住生活, Colleges Against Cancer and Relay for Life.
Being heavily involved with his school, MacRae has had many memories. 他最喜欢的, 虽然, is meeting the woman of his dreams, 未来的新娘, and now mother of his children, Kamie.
He enjoys being involved with the 校友 Board and giving back because Shenandoah helped him gain the experience he needed to be successful in the workforce. Being one of the younger members on the board, MacRae enjoys telling other young alumni about the 校友 Association.
And, he is so excited to introduce Shenandoah to his twin boys!
