Leadershape

LeaderShape is a six-day-long summer leadership opportunity hosted by universities all across the nation. NC State has it's own chapter, providing sixty NC State students the opportunity to participate each year, free of charge. I participated in LeaderShape during the summer between my freshman and sophomore years, and it was one of the best decisions of my college life thus far. The people participating in the program are ambitious, energetic, amazing people, and the best part about it was that they are all your peers! So even though we all went our separate ways for the summer, once school started again in August, we would constantly see each other all over campus. I met a lot of truly great people because of LeaderShape, and because our interests are so different, it's unlikely we would have ever crossed paths on our own otherwise. This is the main reason I highly encourage everyone interested to participate in LeaderShape: it's one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, so take advantage of it while you can!
