The on-campus learning experience that has been the most beneficial and transformational for me has to be my peer mentor position. That has helped me develop as an individual and really reflect on my own experiences as a college student and give that to people who are looking up to me.
Before coming to college I really had no idea what I wanted to do, but as I’ve been able to start to find leadership experience here, I’ve really been able to find what I love to do – and what I love to do is to help others find their passions because when I first started I had no idea what I wanted to do and who I wanted to be. Through jobs like my peer mentor position and my student ambassador position with the Explore Center, I’ve found that I love helping others find their passion and what they want to do and been able to figure out my career plans. I want to be an academic advisor and go into higher education to work with students like myself who didn’t know what they wanted to do.

I gained different experiences from the two different organizations, but both have elevated me as a student and a future worker.

"As chair for the Environmental Sustainability Committee within ASUN and a part of the McNair Scholars Program, which is a research program here on campus, I’ve developed my leadership skills a lot in different ways and broadened my experiences within my time here at UNL. Technical-wise I learned a lot of lab procedures that I would generally learn in my degree through McNair, and through ASUN I learned more socially how to properly communicate with people and how to be a more effective leader and work with a team."

Working as a staff assistant for sport programs at Campus Recreation has helped develop me into the strong and confident woman I am today. Having the opportunity to strengthen my communication, problem-solving, and adaptability has already and will continue to benefit me in my future career. Husker GROW has helped me to realize that these skills I use at work are applicable in many areas of my life.
