Iridian Juarez: Portrait of a 2017 SVSU graduate

One shift.
That is all it took for Iridian Juarez to leave an impression in SVSU President Don Bachand's office so strong that it led Mary Kowaleski, the president's executive assistant, into a figurative tug-of-war for more of Juarez's time.

A social work major from Detroit, Juarez was working in SVSU's Academic Affairs office when she filled a shift one day in Bachand's office. Shortly thereafter, Kowaleski was inquiring on how to get her back for more. A deal was struck where Juarez would split her time between Academic Affairs and Bachand's office, where she communicated regularly with top university officials and other guests of the president.
