When I came as a first-year, the program was only two years old. I have really enjoyed watching the program evolve and improve over the four years of being a leader. I have grown so much as a leader and made amazing friends through this program. I have gained skills in speaking in front of a group, planning a group discussion, time management, thinking on my feet, leading a group of people, handling unexpected situations, and working as part of a team (a very large team, as shown below). Along with all the fun and awesome friendships from On Iowa!, all of these experiences also look fantastic on a resum\u00e9. I have actually talked with many people at the career fair about On Iowa! and they are always impressed by what I&#8217;ve learned.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_653\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/sarah\/files\/2016\/08\/IMG_5343.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-653\" class=\"wp-image-653 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/sarah\/files\/2016\/08\/IMG_5343-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"OnIowa Leaders ready for the first day of the program\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-653\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">On Iowa! Leaders ready for the first day of the program<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The leaders put so much effort and time into making sure we&#8217;re ready to welcome the first year students into the Hawkeye family. We want them to realize the importance of academic success and the weight of their choices as well as experience all the amazing opportunities and fun here. That&#8217;s a lot to accomplish in two days; luckily we have a whole team of captains and directors to support us. I highly encourage anyone who is looking for a great community and resum\u00e9 builder to apply to be a leader.<\/p>\n<p>Highlights from my past several years as a leader:<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-649 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/sarah\/files\/2016\/08\/DSCN1262.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/sarah\/files\/2016\/08\/DSCN1262-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-658\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-658'>\n\t\t\t\tTeal Squad!
