"My leadership experiences as an intramural manager were invaluable to my post-graduate opportunities. I was able to learn how to direct and organize people, develop strong time management skills, take on real responsibility where I was the point person on projects, and develop strong interpersonal skills. Working with a multitude of people in a leadership role prepared me for my first job out of college. It also provided experiences that I used in my formal interview process for graduate school."

"(Being a Sport Club Officer) provides you a real life opportunity to have to make decisions on what's best for the club or organization and not necessarily individuals. Often times this process weeds out people who want to be in a leadership role vs who should be in a leadership role. The results of the club should speak for itself." Noticeable Quotes

“I loved every second of it, even the frustrating moments. Wouldn't hesitate to encourage anyone to take charge in helping themselves and others get the most out of one of their passions. From an administrative perspective, nurture your leaders. Empathy and a genuine desire to help the officers (students) grow into their roles will go farther than anything else you could do.” Noticeable Quotes
