Embracing Opportunities as a LEAP Student Ambassador

By Maria Campos

As a sophomore accounting student, navigating the world of academia can be quite intimidating. At the same time, it is an exciting process every college student must face to achieve academic and career success. Being college students, we should not only focus on our classes and assignments; but also take advantage of all the extracurricular opportunities our campus offers.  Since pursuing a business degree, I have had the opportunity to engage with the School of Business and have been appointed as a Student Ambassador for the LEAP program (on the Suitable App). 

I have witnessed firsthand the positive impact this platform has had on Lehman students, from helping them discover internships to facilitating meaningful mentorship connections. This app tracks events on and off campus to help us develop professional, leadership, and self-development skills. This program has proven to be an indispensable tool for networking opportunities, connecting me with peers, faculty, and business professionals!

These experiences have not only boosted my resume but also instilled in me a sense of confidence and empowerment that will undoubtedly serve me well in my future career endeavors. I eagerly look forward to continuing my journey as a LEAP Student Ambassador and helping more students unlock their full potential through this remarkable program.
