Description
A positive college experience is characterized by proving a holistic development of the student beyond the classroom where students thrive to engage and grow. As a student at the EdD in Leadership for Organizations online program, I experienced development not only in academic aspects but also through cultivating meaningful social connections and engaging in extracellular and cultural activities provided by the program. Leading to personal growth through supportive faculty and mentors’ guidance, this program fostered students a sense of belonging and confidence. Nurturing the whole student development experience in this program provided the tools to build a virtual cohort community connected globally for a lifelong friendship and learning experiences. This experience impacted in empowering me as part of this program to reach my potential goals so I can contribute positively to my community in the future.
