What Past Participants Are Saying About Rising Stars
"Before Rising Stars, I thought I knew anything and everything there was to know about leadership. But after attending workshops...I can honestly and humbly say ‘What was I thinking?' I realized that I had plenty to learn...." - Kendall, Rising Stars 2 graduate "The speakers we had taught us practical skills as well as a better understanding of our culture. I especially gained from the sessions about how to work in groups and the importance of networking. I’ve already implemented the networking skills which really helped me with a school project!” - Nicole, Rising Stars 5 graduate |
