What role in student life best aligns with the values of providing an inclusive, compassionate, and holistic space for students to grow personally and academically?
As a student myself, I can understand the challenges learners go through to seek out the best in life: Success. There are lots of things colleges learn to modernize and tackle on the barriers students face and I want to be a part of this journey to help others.

Hi Eboni, you might look into being a residential advisor or RA at your college.
BestColleges.com defines an RA as "Resident advisors (RAs) — also known as resident assistants — are trained, college-aged mentors. They help create a supportive and safe environment for students living in dorms and other student housing.
RAs can be an invaluable resource to college students, especially for first-year students making the transition to living on their own. They hold many responsibilities, including facilitating dorm activities and helping resolve conflicts between roommates. RAs also help to ensure that residents follow all campus rules."
Best wishes on your journey to help others!
