“The Leadership Fellows Program helped prepare me for my profession as an educator. The leadership theory, mentorship, and roles I experienced while in the program sharpened my skills, instilling confidence in me to lead as a young educator. The program also sparked an interest to further my studies and pursue a doctoral degree in Educational Leadership.”
