Staff

Staff at Lead the Pack are made up of a diverse group of college students who are eager to share their wisdom, mistakes, and experiences from UWSP and other universities. Lead the Pack participants partake in “real talk” question and answer sessions with their peer mentors, as well as informal time talking and bonding during the program. A former Lead the Pack participant noted that “every question that I had (about college) before coming to Lead the Pack was answered, and now that I am here I can honestly say that everything they said was right.”

Former Participants

Past Lead the Pack participants are actively involved in more than 20 clubs and organizations on campus, including: Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Disc Golf Club, Historical Preservation Student Society, International Interior Design Student Association, National Honor Society of Leadership and Success, Newpoint News, Student Government Association, and Stevens Point Student Television.

Testimonials

"Because I met so many people through this program, I came into college with more of an open mindset, realizing that everyone will be in the same boat and want to meet other people as much as I do."

"This program has taught me the academic struggles of a college student, and how I can overcome them. I have learned that studying is a must and tutoring is very helpful. I’m glad I was prepared!"

"Participation in this event helped me not only by helping me make friends before I came to campus, but also showed me that everyone else was worried about making friends. At first I didn’t even want to go to this program, but afterwards I am so glad I did because it made me less nervous about my social life in college." 

"This program taught me to be more outgoing, and the friends that were made were super easy to talk to during welcome week!"

"It helped me to be less judgmental, and it has shown me everyone is unique in their own way."
