I plan and develop programs that work with developing student leaders.
I have a lot of meetings to help determine the course of what leadership looks like on a college campus to college students. I teach a class on outdoor leadership because that is one of my passions. I have a few student meetings where I mentor students both academically and personally. I have at least one meeting for one of the student organizations that I advise, and then I try to develop one of the many programs that may be happening within the month, such as traveling to Dubai or Uganda.
Here's the first step for college students
Develop a good work ethic that you can have fun with. Create a fire around you that you excite others and you help them find their passion. Don't focus on yourself, but on those around you. Get to know as many student organizations as you can and become an advocate for all of them.
"You should get a job in science or math because that is the only way to be successful. What do you mean you work for a University? Are you a professor? Are you a professional babysitter?"
