Testimonials

Student Comments:

“I want to take advantage of my last journal to thank the LEAD program for what I got from it. It was one of the few places where I really felt the freedom to express myself, so thanks for that. Thank you for the effort and commitment you put into it, thank you for being worried and actually making something to build up my generation.”

“I went in with a ‘hey, it’s required’ kind of attitude. Boy, did I ever change my mind!”

“Overall, I was pleased with how the session went and I was thrilled to be a part of it.”

“When I first started the Lead program I was doing it to say that I have done another thing at ASU. After the first couple of sessions my attitude towards it changed dramatically. I was learning more and more information on not only ASU but on how to be a more effective Leader. It was such a great experience for me. I found myself applying everything I learned to apply to graduate school, help with organizations I was involved in, and it also helped me get my current graduate assistant job. I was able to network with some of the higher administration during this program, because of that I had great recommendations from them for my current position. It’s just a great program and everyone can benefit from it in many ways. “

“It was very enlightening to hear many opinions that I would never have thought to consider.”

“I had a great time discussing leadership concepts in this program and would greatly advise all students, especially business majors, to attend.”
