This leadership lab allowed me to really reflect on what has shaped me to grow into the leader I am, but also to be more cognizant of what's hindering my growth as a leader. Mr. Green's presentation gave me a lot of perspective on how leadership is individualized to you and the intentionality that's required to better ourselves whether that be through words, actions, or mentorship.

This spring formal was one of CAB’s biggest productions this school year!

The summit was an amazing experience. I had the opportunity to present my research project on developing a health communications tool about childhood measles, which I’ve been working on in my health communications class at Howard Community College. It was also really interesting to attend presentations from students at surrounding colleges, and that pushed me to step outside of my comfort zone and grow. I’m especially grateful for Professor Burke’s guidance and support throughout the development of my project.

This meeting was very informative, as Ms. Johnson helped us understand how to navigate some of the common situations that arise during adulthood.
