"ULEAD was an amazing opportunity for me to get to know people and feel more comfortable on campus before my first semester of college even began. I gained a lot of knowledge and experiences from this program. It helped me get out of my shell and get more involved."

"My experience in ULEAD was such an amazing and memorable time. I came to college nervous because I had no idea who anyone was and that's pretty stressful."
