Erin Davis

I was taught more about professional emails and voicemails and had great scenarios and examples to help me further understand.

Attended the applied leadership lab and worked among peers on our portfolios, and also collaborated on action plans within the portfolio.

Recieved a helpful checklist to ensure I am career ready. It uses a scoring system from 1-5 on many topics such as LinkedIn/Profile Presence and Elevator Pitch. It was helpful to see what I need to work on and what I excel in.

I learned about better strategies from the Next Level Academic Strategies Workshop for the new semester and lots of good things to keep in mind during the semester such as "you cannot pour from an empty well".

It was nice meeting my faculty mentor, Mr. White, again and creating fun vision boards for the semester, as well as being taught about leadership by Dr. Simpson, and interacting with other STRIVE students.

I attended the meet-and-greet, where I connected with other STRIVE Academy students. Dr. Pair and Dr. Cosey gave presentations, after which we collaborated to create a set of rules.

Learned upcoming strive events, gained information about internships, and learned about other great resources on campus.

Refreshed the expectations of the scholarship program.

I learned more about using GivePulse. One thing that Mr. Cruz taught me was how to see if your impact was disputed and what needed to be fixed.

Learned ways to stay organized and plan out my week.
