Our seniors are a major source of experience and leadership for the team. Almost all have been on the team for multiple years, and even if they haven’t, they’re still well respected by both the other members of the team and the mentors. They teach the other students how to lead, be a part of the team and prepare them to take over their role when they’re gone. The seniors are a key part of our team, and that’s why we feel you should get to know them.
