As soon as I started taking classes, I knew that RCEL was something I needed. Because of my work in RCEL, I know how to express my ideas, communicate, manage conflict, persuade others, and manage followership – all of these skills were put into practice during my internship and other projects. I thrived in my internship because I was extremely prepared. RCEL has changed my life. It has given me mentors, friends, experiences, skills, and confidence. RCEL has prepared me for my future.
