Who has had the greatest influence on your life?

One of the greatest influences in my life was my Resident Director while I was in college. She truly believed in me and helped me develop into a leader and someone who desires to see others grow.

What is the greatest lesson you learned in college

One of the greatest lessons I learned in college is that everyone is looking for someone to intentionally care about them. If you take the initiative to care for others or to make a connection with someone, your community will grow quickly and exponentially.
