Krystal Clark, a program coordinator for Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, has worked at Duke for four years.

What I do at Duke is: I'm an advisor to the Panhellenic Association and the Inter-Greek council. I also run our Emerging Leaders program. I've worked on Greek Weekend and publications for our office. Pretty much a lot of student and group advisement.If someone wanted to start a conversation with me, they should ask me about: Where I went to college, because I could talk about that for days. I went to the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Va. My alma mater is very important for me and very important for my development as a person and as an academic. I have a whole lot of school spirit.If I had $5 million, I would: Probably pay off student loans and then take my family out and buy them one thing that they each wanted. If I bought my mom everything she wanted I wouldn't have any money left. I would save a chunk of it, travel and I'd probably also donate some money to the National Coalition for the Homeless. I got to do some work with them last year and it's a pretty amazing organization. My first ever job was: It was in college because I wasn't allowed to work in high school. I was an office manager at my campus recreation center. I was the card swiper. I opened and closed the building, made sure there were towels out, things like that.My dream job is: It's always been to be Oprah or at least just a news anchor woman. I recently went to CNN in Atlanta to take a tour, and I thought it was very cool to see them doing the news. The best advice I ever received was: 'Always look like you know where you're going.' That came from my high school guidance counselor. What I love about Duke is: I really love the students. I get the opportunity to work with students who are going to have the chance to really shape things in our country. These are going to be students who go out in the world and use what they've learned for good.When I'm not at work, I like to: I like to go to the gym, but I also love movies.If I could have one superpower, it would be: To be invisible. Sometimes I'd just like to disappear or be in environments and hear what people are saying without them knowing I was there. Something most people don't know about me is: I really love country music, and I don't think people understand the intensity of how much I love it. I think there's something simple about the music. It's catchy. I'm really into Lady Antebellum right now and I love Carrie Underwood.
