With its help, she was able to get into the University of Washington Bothell and find her passion in business marketing. \u201cI really struggled at first and didn\u2019t feel like I belonged,\u201d Hoang said, noting that she had to overcome a number of adversities, including imposter syndrome. \u201cThe program really helped me find myself and my purpose.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Committed to passing on the same kind of guidance and support she received, Hoang became a peer coach and later, the peer coach program intern. She also served as co-chair of the Student Technology Fee Committee, and as founder and president of the Karaoke Club. In recognition of all she contributed to the campus community, she was named one of the UW\u2019s 2023 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/husky100\/2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Husky 100 honorees.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year, the University of Washington recognizes 100 undergraduate and graduate students in all areas of study from the Bothell, Seattle and Tacoma campuses who are making the most of their time at the UW.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Paying it forward<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Husky 100 students actively connect what happens inside and outside of the classroom and then apply what they learn to make a difference on campus, in their communities and across the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are undoubtedly thousands of students who could positively represent UW, but Vivian embodies what it means to grow through the Husky experience,\u201d said Emily Leonard, the UW Bothell transition program manager who recommended Hoang for the honor. \u201cShe is an exceptional leader who encourages others to become advocates and change makers on campus and beyond.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a peer coach, Hoang helped more than 100 students transition into university life. \u201cVivian wanted underrepresented students to see that they deserve to be here and to help them celebrate the cultural wealth they bring,\u201d Leonard said. \u201cShe wanted them to know she understands what it is like to translate for a grandparent, to commute more than an hour to campus, to work part time to pay tuition, to network and to navigate systems to find answers and overcome obstacles.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working closely with other students from similar backgrounds also taught Hoang that she wasn\u2019t alone. \u201cI realized there were many underprivileged and underrepresented students also battling financial and academic struggles,\u201d she said. \u201cI empathized with the hardships they faced while also facing my own. I learned a lot from my students as they gave me a sense of belonging in our community.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Apply new skills<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/business\/undergraduate\/business-administration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Business Administration major<\/a>, Hoang grew an interest in the management side of peer coaching and was hired as the peer coach intern her sophomore year, one of few managerial positions open to students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her goal, she said, was simple: \u201cto fully support my coaches so they could successfully support their students.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To accomplish this, Hoang drew on her own experiences to improve the program\u2019s training materials so that they better met the needs of peer coaches. She then created multiple modes of content marketing to identify and attract students to apply to the program, meet with their peer coaches and participate more in community events.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt the end of my first year,\u201d she said, \u201cmy coaches yielded 110% more in meetings with students compared to my first two years of peer coaching.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This work also taught Hoang how to thrive in a fast-paced and student-centered environment \u2014 skills she said she first gained in her studies where she learned how to critically design and deliver customer-driven solutions. \u201cMy time as a peer coach intern has given me real-world applications and experience for practicing my degree and my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/ias\/undergraduate\/minors\/visual-media-arts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visual &amp; Media Arts minor<\/a>,\u201d she said.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Presenting to UW leaders<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Working in management, Hoang came to the somber realization that because of the size and scope of the peer coaching program and the cost of inflation, the current New Student Enrollment &amp; Orientation Fee would not be sustainable to keep the program running. Believing in what it does for students, she could not bear to see it lose staff or funding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI worked closely in a small committee with Terry Hill, director of Orientation &amp; Transition Programs, to examine the possible fee scenarios and current inflation trends,\u201d she said. \u201cI provided recommendations using techniques learned in my marketing classes, such as market research and data analysis, to create a new proposal.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to working as intern, she also served as chair of the OTP Student Advisory Committee. In thus role, it was her responsibility to represent and discuss the importance of the program to get endorsements that would be submitted and presented to the UW\u2019s Board of Regents. \u201cThe knowledge I gained in assessing and analyzing multiple business case studies through my coursework effectively prepared me to speak firmly of the program\u2019s impact on student engagement and student affairs,\u201d she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI presented a 10-minute budget proposal to the regents and got a unanimous vote for approval, saving staff and five programs from being cut. My efforts helped ensure future undergraduate first-year and transfer students receive help through UW Bothell programs in their college transition.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 31.93 23.66\" width=\"34\">\n  <path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M19.94 23.655h11.988V12.578h-6.6a6.63 6.63 0 0 1 .662-3.486 8.55 8.55 0 0 1 5.721-4.722V.001a14.8 14.8 0 0 0-8.687 4.768q-3.089 3.606-3.089 9.994v8.893Zm-19.938 0H11.99V12.578h-6.6a7.5 7.5 0 0 1 .631-3.575q1.47-3.277 5.763-4.633V.001a14.54 14.54 0 0 0-8.771 4.788c-2 2.427-3.008 5.781-3.008 9.974Z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><p>Vivian wanted underrepresented students to see that they deserve to be here and to help them celebrate the cultural wealth they bring.

This led to her involvement in student government where she joined the Student Technology Fee Committee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI saw the role technology played in students switching from remote to hybrid operations as a peer coach,\u201d she said. \u201cIt sparked my curiosity about the allocation of student fees and if students were making the best use of them.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As co-chair of the STF Committee, Hoang developed and implemented allocation guidelines for a budget of more than $4.6 million. She monitored and analyzed trends to provide students equitable access to technology for the fiscal year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having the perspective of a student was important, Hoang said, as that meant she could provide input on what technology her peers want and need. The committee was able to approve more than 20 proposals, many of which will open new opportunities for students on and off campus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Creating a club<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hoang\u2019s experience in project management and leadership alongside her passion for building community also inspired her to create the Karaoke Club, one of UW Bothell\u2019s largest clubs currently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her role as the director of administration was to oversee the whole operation. \u201cMy creativity and skills in media helped promote the club through outreach and media content,\u201d she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But while the club was successful, it was not without challenges when some internal conflicts arose during the height of its popularity. \u201cMy team appointed me to step in as president to help strengthen the club using my prior leadership experience,\u201d she explained. \u201cMy work as an intern helped me adapt quickly to the constant change and rapid growth we had been experiencing.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said stepping in with limited time to pick up all her responsibilities and train the club\u2019s staff was a challenge, but her effort paid off during the club\u2019s successful appearance at the Winter Club Fair. \u201cWe attracted more than 100 students with excitement about the club.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI realized many students at UW Bothell struggle to find a sense of community as it is a commuter campus \u2014 and the Karaoke Club serves as a community for students,\u201d she said. \u201cI aimed to be a supportive leader for both my officers and members.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More than imagined<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hoang said her time with OTP along with the help she received from College Possible helped her maximize her experience as a Husky. \u201cI intertwined multiple leadership positions and student government roles with my passion for business marketing and media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNone of this would have been possible if the University of Washington Bothell did not take a chance on me,\u201d she said. \u201cThe institution has taught me that my story makes me unique.
