Here are a few examples of what the leaders say about their experiences with SL Leadership:
[all comments are taken from responses to an end-of-term call for feedback]

SL Leadership has been “both … challenging and rewarding.... Students who did attend the sessions were… appreciative... Knowing that I helped even one student throughout the year made all my effort worth while."

"One thing it did really help me with was motivation and responsibility.... My grades are the highest they’ve been in University thus far... [The] extra time I’m devoting has boosted my work ethic and improved my time management skills which in turn have helped my grades."

"Several students thank[ed] me for helping them pass the course and it gave me a sense of leadership and pride that I was able to help effectively."

"Leading and organizing… [giving] students a framework in which to interact with the material independently, applying it in a supportive and interactive peer-setting… is SL leadership… I am still working on this, but I have come a long way."

“SL has increased my confidence overall…. I have learned… how to ‘think on my feet’. No matter how much I prepared for a session, it never went according to plan, and I have grown accustomed to quickly … deciding how to better coordinate a session. I am also becoming more comfortable with not knowing the answer to every question, which has helped me grow as a life-long learner.”
