What do past and present student leaders have to say about getting involved?

It's that time of year again! Applications for leadership opportunities next year have rolled out and are soon due. Whatever position you decide to apply to, it's a great opportunity. Past and present student leaders have found it to be a rewarding experience, check out their testimonials:


"Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a nudge in the right direction" - Ryan W. LAMP Science Peer Mentor

"I never expected LAMP to become such a big part of my life. Having been involved with the program for 4 years now, LAMP has truly been inspirational to me. From being a beneficiary of the program to becoming a leader, I have seen the program grow for the better, extending help to help fulfill Western's promise of offering one of the best student experience possible. Along the lines of personal growth, I have learned so much about myself from contributing to this program. It only takes one decision to give back to the student community, and in my opinion, LAMP is the best way to go about doing just that." - Ming Lai W. Student Co-ordinator

"There's no better way to get involved or to know Western better than to be a part of LAMP. As a mentor, you not only help those around you by sharing your knowledge of resources around Western, but you also learn a lot about them as well. I don't think my university experience would have been complete without it. The people you work with, I think, are what make LAMP so amazing. You definitely get as much as you put into the program." - Jessica L. Leadership Chair Co-ordinator

"In my second year, I was a LAMP Peer Mentor and I loved my experience so much, I decided to become more involved with the Student Success Centre becoming an SAO Leader, a Career Leader, and a LAMP Team Leader. Being a Student Leader is such a rewarding experience. You acquire a unique and invaluable skill set developing communication, delegation, teamwork, organization, facilitation skills...and much, much more! You meet so many other amazing student leaders and, of course, have a lot of fun" -
Hilary W. SAO Leader, Career Leader and LAMP Health Sci Team Leader
