“This was the beginning of me starting to think about leadership beyond student involvement and starting to apply leadership in a professional setting” - Lynna Vo
Lynna Vo, a rising senior at the University of Connecticut, heard about the LEAP Emerge program from her university’s Asian American Cultural Center. When looking into the details of the program, she recognized LEAP’s Emerge program as something unheard of in relation to the internship programs she had previously researched. With the positive reviews from her advisors, she decided to take the chance of challenging herself to apply for LEAP Emerge.
