Hey Mark! It was so interesting to hear your reflection on your project. I definitely agree that this summer also pushed me to build my skills as a leader from behind, which expanded how I had previously considered leadership. I'm also glad to hear that you had such a great experience shadowing your graduate student mentor—it's amazing that you'll get to continue your project beyond the summer too! I'm excited to see how your project continues during this upcoming semester.
