It is our pleasure to introduce the Emcee for this year’s Winter Wine Mixer: Meghan Palumbo. With her expertise and energy, she is sure to make the evening unforgettable. Please read more about her background below.

Megan's childhood dream was to become a cast member on Saturday Night Live. Upon graduating high school, she did absolutely nothing to achieve that dream. Instead, she studied journalism and communications and became a reporter at WROC-TV/News 8. She went on to serve in roles at Highland Hospital and The Center for Youth, helping to secure funding for youth in crisis. Today, she is Director of Value Creation at Press Ganey, where she focuses on improving health care nationwide. While Meghan feels she has aged out of her SNL ambitions, she gladly accepts any invitation to pick up a microphone to emcee and support the community where she and her husband are raising their three sons.

We’re excited to introduce Julia, our amazing College Experience Service-Learning student from Hobart and William Smith Colleges! Julia is an international student-athlete from Brazil and a member of the William Smith soccer program.

She is currently studying Psychology with a minor in Sociology and has a passion for helping others—especially children with disabilities. Julia hopes to become a social worker in the future, and we are lucky she chose to spend her Fridays with us gaining hands-on experience and building connections with our individuals.

Julia brings kindness, energy, and a global perspective to our classroom. Our individuals love getting to know her, and she is already making a positive impact. We are so grateful to partner with Hobart and William Smith and to welcome dedicated students like Julia into our program.
