What You Can Achieve
-
Elevate your undergraduate experience by joining a diverse group of undergraduates for leadership training! You will acquire leadership and mentoring skills that will help you at UCI and beyond. As a peer-to-peer Mentor within the Summer Session Leadership Development Program, you will build your resume and gain valuable leadership experience while making a positive impact on new UCI students (by assisting incoming students who have been admitted for Fall 2019). You will exercise commitment and responsibility, and gain public speaking and decision-making skills through the planning and implementation of summer events.
You will develop three core categories of abilities, which can be applied to your academic and professional endeavors: cultural competency (awareness and experience working with people from different backgrounds); leadership and communication; and mentorship.
