"Being a peer leader pushes you to communicate clearly, be adaptable, and see learning from a new perspective, and you end up gaining just as much as the students you support."
"I have gained so much confidence in my ability to lead. This experience has allowed me to be myself in front of others."
"Because of the variety of students I have met, I have learnt that a lot of struggles in college that you believe are unique to yourself usually are not. You are never alone and people will always be there to support you!"
"Being a peer leader is an opportunity to help others find rewarding experiences in STEM. Sometimes all it takes is a little support that we as peer leaders may be able to offer."
"Being a peer leader has shown me that leadership isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about growing alongside others."
"I love what I do—I love helping my peers and ensuring the academic success of others. In this life, we should all help each other reach greater heights, and that is a belief I am very passionate about."
"Through my experience as a peer leader, I have truly realized how important mentorship is. It's absolutely a two-way street! Guiding students through that first semester and encouraging them becomes a way to remember to give yourself grace, be kind to yourself, and keep pushing yourself."
