Leadership

Leadership plays a vital role in my internship because I am responsible for creating and implementing many new programs. My supervisors also demonstrate leadership because they encourage me and help me with many tasks. As Program Coordinator, Davier, must meet and advise every TRIO student and the program serves 150. He is meeting with students and giving advice while planning and executing many components of TRIO. The Program Director, Sylvia Symonds, demonstrates leadership when she meets with the Dean of Students and represents ASU TRO Downtown at various decision tables. TRIO is a very versatile program and requires many leadership skills. Cognitive skills are also required, such as time management.

TRIO serves low income, first generation, and students with disabilities and the leaders of this program want their students to succeed and grow as individuals. They simply must not talk about program want their students to succeed and grow as individuals. They simply must not talk about being the best one can be, but they must also demonstrate how to be your best self. My supervisors 'walk the talk.' They struggle, but tell students that struggles are universal and nondiscriminatory and guide students on how to overcome these struggles. ASU TRIO Downtown would not exist without any leaders.
