Help new students with their transition to college, develop leadership skills, public speaking skills, give out campus tours, and interact with students from different parts of the world. I have the great pleasure of being the first person a new student sees before starting attending the university and being the face of the university. I love what I do with this wonderful organization and will continue to give it my all. Being a really shy kid when coming into college, now am presenting in front of 40-50 new students during each orientation. I'm thankful for the skills i have developed and will continue to develop more.
