Personal definition of leadership What your fellow journeymen learned about you
Leadership is the fostering and implementation of a variety of skills and traits which together allow for one to achieve a common goal set by one’s constituents by way of utilizing one’s available resources and inspiring one’s constituents in order to create a path by which one may ultimately achieve the predetermined goal.
It’s those skills and traits which make effective leadership such a challenge, and it’s those skills and traits that you will learn about and practice should you join DOZ!		 I am both an extremely generous and sincere hugger and laugher. I am an extrovert; I see great value in focusing on one’s external environment. I am insatiably curious and continually seek to learn about and to experience something new. I am addicted to social interaction and can’t get enough of them.
Campus involvement Why you love DOZ
Accounting Society, Undergraduate Student Government, Kappa Alpha Theta, Order of Omega, Italian Club, and Italian Film Club I love DOZ because it has not only allowed me to recognize my strengths and weaknesses as a leader, but has given me the unique opportunity to practice my leadership style and to continually improve through introspection. At the same time, I have had the immense privilege of meeting and growing close to leaders from nearly every large organization and academic arena on campus. Not only have I become part of such a wide-spread network of leaders, but I have also made friends with a diverse group of smart, talented, kind, hardworking, and above all inspiring individuals. The people are, more than anything, the reason I love Delta Omicron Zeta.

Personal definition of leadership What your fellow journeymen learned about you
Leadership is the ability to bring people together and unite them to work towards a common cause through constant motivation and skillful communication. Leadership is not immediately visible within someone, it takes actual experiences to demonstrate what one can do.
