"This experience has already affected my life. I’ve finally found a term that I love identifying with. I feel extremely more comfortable with myself and because of that, I now have the confidence to get to know people that I wouldn't have had the self-security to have approached before." - 2009 LT Delegate
"This retreat revealed the need for a more educated community and that I am to respond to that need if a change is going to be made in this world." - 2009 LT Delegate
"This retreat definitely changed my perceptions on a lot of things and it definitely made, and will make, a difference in the messages I promote as a person and as a leader in my community." - 2007 LT Delegate
Leadership Today is a collaborative program sponsored by the MOSAIC Cross Cultural Center and Student Involvement.
