IAROSLAV LUTSENKO<br />
FROM UKRAINE<br />
PRE-MASTER’S PROGRAM, MBA<br />
All of the people have different backgrounds, not just<br />
international students. I started to talk with people and they all<br />
have different life experiences. It impressed me that we can<br />
connect with each other and find something in common, all<br />
through <strong>Roosevelt</strong> University.<br />
<strong>ISC</strong> student Iaroslav participated in the <strong>Roosevelt</strong><br />
University Student Leadership Summit 2014. Students<br />
from all parts of the university joined together on this<br />
weekend retreat, sponsored by the Center for Student<br />
Involvement, to focus on leadership development, social<br />
justice, and how to become better agents of social change.<br />
Iaroslav recognized that all the knowledge he gained in the<br />
leadership summit was important and memorable, and he<br />
plans to apply it in his daily life. The summit also gave him<br />
the opportunity to discover that he possesses the potential<br />
and qualities needed to become a great leader.<br />
