Kiendra, a senior on the volleyball team, and Jaskier, a sophomore on the golf team, participated in multiple workshops and breakout sessions at the conference, each aimed at a different aspect of leadership.
"We had the opportunity to attend sessions focusing on Marketing the Chapter, Chapter Engagement and Involvement, and Coaching and Mentoring Mindset," explained Jaskier
Upon returning from the conference, both of these student-athletes knew that they could apply the leadership skills and approaches from the conference and apply them to their team and within the department.
“These skills include creating a sense of belonging within our communities, building a positive culture in order to increase engagement, giving everyone a voice at the table, and rooting a team mentality through trust, credibility, and authenticity,” said Kiendra.
She continued by adding that “We recognize that true leadership is not just about individual success but about uplifting those around us to create a lasting impact.”
