鈥淏eing a member of the President鈥檚 Leadership Council at 91成人 was an incredible experience. When I first enrolled and was accepted into the PLC, I was extremely introverted and didn鈥檛 know many people on campus, but that quickly changed as I spent more time in the program. During my time with PLC, I learned about what it meant to be apart of something important. With the support of our peers and outstanding professors, we helped make a difference on our campus and in our community through fundraisers, volunteer work, and simply being there for each other. This program taught me what it means to be dedicated to something bigger than yourself, and gave me many of the leadership tools that I still use today. I will forever be grateful for the lessons I learned, the bonds I formed, and the person I became in the hands of the President鈥檚 Leadership Council.鈥澛Dailyn Emery, Former PLC Member
