Lily Herzog is a Business Administration major with a specialty in Marketing from Basking Ridge, New Jersey. She is currently a student leader in Campus Ministry and helps run the Women's Ministry events team. She is also a Spring Break Service Trip Leader and is so excited to plan and guide the Los Angeles trip for this year. This will be Lily’s third year on the Orientation staff! In her spare time, she loves adventuring throughout D.C. and is currently on the hunt to find the best coffee shop in the city. On campus, you can almost always find her around the Pryz or the Busch School of Business. Lily’s favorite memories at CUA so far include hanging out with friends, seeing live music in the city, volunteering at service sites, and studying abroad in Rome for a semester.

Lily is a huge proponent of getting outside of one’s own comfort zone. Going into college, her goal was to push her own limits for the good of others, hoping to foster more community and build connections. She joined the Orientation program as a means of service to connect with new students and help them feel more at home in such a new space. Little did she know, this program would turn out to be more of a service to her instead, by offering the community that she had searched for as a new student. To Lily, the biggest reward, however, has been to see the fruit of the program through the connections it creates among the student body. The most fruitful experiences for her come from giving of yourself, serving others, encouraging them to grow, and then watching them thrive.

Lily wants to give her service, joy, and experience to the 2026 Student Coordinator position to continue building a welcoming space for all new students and families. “Catholic University has given me a home away from home, and I want to help foster that feeling and those connections among others. The transition to college looks different for everyone. It can be challenging at times and that is okay! Challenge entails growth, and getting outside of your comfort zone means finding your own strength and potential. My purpose in Orientation has always been to guide students through these challenges and promote that growth in each individual. We are here to help and can’t wait for you to join our CUA community!”

Addison Quintana, who goes by “Addy,” is a junior Art & Design and Business double major from Shreveport, Louisiana. In addition to entering her third year on the Orientation staff, Addy is in the University Honors Program and a member of Best Buddies. She is most likely to be found in the Pryz spending time with her friends or studying between her classes. In her free time, Addy loves to explore the shops in Georgetown, try new restaurants, and go on long walks in the city!

Despite the fear of moving across the country and not knowing anyone prior, Addy immediately felt welcomed on campus which gave her the space and confidence to grow and begin finding herself. In this pursuit, Addy became an Orientation Advisor to help others like herself feel welcomed and at home during this incredibly stressful transition. Over the past three years, Addy has made Catholic her home away from home by fully embracing the change and all the challenges that came with the uncertainty. Taking on the role of Student Coordinator, Addy hopes to give back to the program that welcomed her from the very beginning and help every first-year student find a true sense of belonging at Catholic. “I am beyond excited and honored to help plan CUA Orientation 2026. We cannot wait to meet you all so soon!”
