"Serving as Wandell Fellows President for the 2023/2024 academic year was an incredible experience. What made the group truly special were its members. Leading such a focused and motivated group was effortless. It was rewarding to have a team that listened when I spoke and to be equally attentive to their input as their leader. I valued everyone's contributions, and it was an absolute pleasure to lead this remarkable group."

"Through my time in the Walter Center and Emerging Leaders, I learned that as leaders our job is to set the standard, not only for those we lead, but also for anyone who may be watching. Leading by example boosts team moral and stresses the importance of the work that we are doing, which is why I choose to immerse myself fully in everything that I do. I am so thankful for my leadership development and time in the Walter Center."
