"Western has given me the knowledge, hands-on skills, experiences, and resources to succeed after college. Being a leader of numerous group projects has taught me what it means to be a leader -and yet still be coachable, how to organize unique events, fundraisers, and execute multi-media advertising campaigns, and how to think with a more future-forward focus."
