"I applied for Aspire because I wanted to become a leader in the nursing community. I was excited to meet the wonderful and inspiring people that the Aspire program could introduce me to. I was ready for a challenge within my major, and am excited to see what the next few years have in store for me!" [Click on Leonard's name above for more.]
"Aspire caught my attention from the moment I learned about it. I have held many leadership positions in the past between sports and clubs, and I enjoy working with others to accomplish goals. I am so humbled and excited to be a part of Aspire and to develop as a leader in the nursing field. Aspire offers amazing opportunities to learn from current health care professionals and create positive changes in the community." [Click on Mochowski's name above for more.]
"I have always pursued leadership, starting when I went on a national Outdoor Leadership School program in Summer '10. I continued to learn more about leadership and thought Aspire would be a great way to combine my love of nursing and leadership." [Click on Pepper's name above for more.]
"When looking into the nursing program at UW, one major component that stood out was the Aspire program. Having leadership within each class shows the level of trust and commitment the professors have with their students. It also shows that the program is looking ahead; it has plans and a future they are striving toward. Within their plans they are including the students they will be teaching. I really wanted to be part of that, and am so blessed to have this opportunity. [Click on Wilbers' name above for more.]
