"Being on the Dean's Team has been an amazing way to coordinate and network with faculty, future employers, and create lasting relationships with fellow students. Additionally, I find great pride in helping inspire future Zips to join our world-class engineering program!

"Being a member of the Dean's Team is awesome because of the frequent self-reflection. During each tour and conversation with high school students, we share our experiences and highlight what we are grateful for from UA. Being able to put ourselves in the shoes of those juniors and seniors in high school and realizing where we are now is truly an experience I am thankful for. Dean's Team has encouraged me to be present and realize I need to make the most of my limited time left here before graduation!"
