RISE Spotlight

The most rewarding part of participating in the RISE Leadership program is attending workshops with ASU faculty and staff who taught me how to be a leader, how to put together a resume, and helped me to decide which career options I could explore using the M3 quiz. I'm glad I attended this program.
