In addition to discussing how the Leadership Studies minor can benefit students, the ambassadors publicize upcoming programs and special events. The ambassadors also continually provide feedback to faculty and staff and represent student interests and concerns. New ambassadors are selected each spring semester.
Leadership is a skill that directly connects to the real world.
The minor also provides peer connection with other highly motivated people. Another important characteristic taught in the minor is learning when to step up and be the leader and when to let someone else lead. By recognizing and learning how to deal effectively with diverse groups of people in a multitude of situations, you have the ability to lead a much more enriched, satisfying life. Someday I hope to be in medical school pursuing a medical degree. To better prepare myself for future interviews, application processes, and eventually my patients, I think it is very important to realize who I am in addition to understanding where my future patients are coming from.
