In Their Own Words 

Dakota Crowell, LLC Student:
“I love being in the Community Leadership LLC because it gave me a chance to meet other people outside my major and let me continue to give back to the community. I made some close friendships being in the LLC.”

Megan Olson, LLC RA (and former participant):
“I was in this LLC my first year and made friendships that I still have today. It was my favorite year of college because I lived with my friends, took classes with my friends, and volunteered with my friends. As the RA for the LLC this year, it is amazing to see this same experience happen with my residents.”

Dr. Nancy File, LLC Instructor:
“For students who want to be early childhood teachers, leadership skills are so essential. All of the LLC experiences help them to become strong advocates for children. Giving students these opportunities as soon as they enter UWM is an essential component to our early childhood education program.”
