鈥淚 would definitely recommend the program to other students. I think leadership in and of itself is something important to learn. Even if you don鈥檛 become a leader officially someday, there are so many other different ways to be a leader for yourself, especially for self-advocacy鈥攁nd that鈥檚 just so powerful.鈥
