What advice would you give current SAC members or new officers?

"One piece of advice I would give would be not to let yourself get trapped in your comfort zone and to always "be comfortable, with being uncomfortable." I learned this after attending the Hatton W. Sumners Student Leadership Conference, and it has stuck with me since I heard the concept at the conference.

Experiencing new and unfamiliar things is terrifying for most people. Still, these new experiences help us grow, develop, and better understand subjects we may not completely understand. If I listened to every person who told me I couldn't achieve a goal or was incapable of doing something, I would never have made it to or through college and where I am now."

What advice would you give current SAC members or new officers?

"Be intentional about meeting faculty and staff. We have some pretty amazing educators and staff (many whom are Bobcat alum) and learning how they navigated their academic and professional journeys can only improve your own. Some of my most influential mentors are staff members  are Bobcat alum and the respect and accolades they have gained are what we should all stive to achieve. "
