Leadership for Grads has supported my future goals to progress into more mentorship roles and positions in both volunteer opportunities and in my professional environment. The workshops and resources provided in the program can be directly applied to me leading students, associates and even with friends and family. Leadership for Grads has strengthened and enhanced my foundations in leadership and future leadership roles.

The Leadership for Grads workshops have instilled in me the right mindset for creating and sustaining a positive environment around me. It also provided me with interesting ideas and practices that I can chew on and use as I develop my own habits in the workshop. Overall, it was a constructive, engaging and very relevant experience that complements my curriculum and research work as a grad and will shape me as a more well-rounded individual in the future.

I am confident that the opportunity to enhance my interpersonal and communication skills provided by the Leadership for Grads program will serve me well on my path to building a career as an educator, music performer and scholar. Through participating in the Leadership for Grads program, I have become more aware of my strengths and how I can leverage them in leadership positions. Ultimately, I came away with a sense of empowerment, having been reminded that anyone can envision a better future, and that even the small actions of individuals, regardless of their station in life, can help lead to positive changes and make a difference in the lives of others.
