Celebrate Teammates of the month

Jacob Hasapopoulos demonstrated what it means to be a great teammate and member of the Hamline community when he noticed a neighbor clearing storm drains near campus. Rather than simply passing by, Hasapopoulos stopped, asked if she needed help, parked his car, grabbed a shovel, and worked alongside her until the job was finished. What stood out most was Hasapopoulos stepped up simply because he saw someone who could use a hand. His kindness, selflessness, and willingness to serve others are a great example of Piper Pride and the type of impact our students can make beyond campus. We are proud to recognize Hasapopoulos as our Student Teammate of the Month!

Paula Mullineaux, associate professor of psychology and chair of psychology,  demonstrated tremendous leadership following the Robbins Science Center bus incident. From the beginning of the response through the recovery process, Mullineaux stepped in wherever needed, helping faculty secure temporary classrooms, labs, and office space while supporting countless logistical and equipment needs. Mullineaux's leadership and advocacy were instrumental in supporting student researchers, bringing Robbins back online for Chemistry faculty, and preparing the building for the fall semester. Much of her work happened quietly behind the scenes, but her care, responsiveness, and commitment made a tremendous impact. We are proud to recognize Mullineaux as our Faculty Teammate of the Month.
