What Students in the current Cohort saying about the Legacy 2023 Program sharing various perspectives:
Legacy has taught me the breadth of leadership. I used to connect it only to clubs and work, but now I see it within my interpersonal relationships. It's also taught me how to value myself and my time amongst a busy and demanding schedule.
- I signed up for Legacy thinking it would add to my resume, but it's stretched and has grown me as an individual. Legacy is an experience that caters to students as individual people constantly reminding me that I am not what I can do for others. I have cried, laughed, and made friends that are not only some of the best leaders I have ever encountered, but also kindhearted people who remind me that everyone has their own journey.
- Being part of Legacy means being part of a diverse group of leaders. It's opened my eyes to the many ways students can impact communities and it has helped me discover my purpose and passion as a leader.
- Legacy has shown me I'm not alone. It's invaluable to spend time with others who understand the pressures of doing it all. We're all working on growing our leadership skills and learning to be easier on ourselves.
- Legacy is an opportunity to unwind and connect with student leaders who similar values and commitment to serving the UConn community.
- Legacy has both challenged and enhanced my leadership abilities, and skills.
