This week’s LeaderBear has been very active at Missouri State University.  Danielle Parker is a Senior at Missouri State and is majoring in Early Childhood Education. Danielle Parker is an active member of Sigma Kappa and is Vice President of Special Tours for University Ambassadors. She also participated in our Distinction in Public Affairs program.

When asked how our Distinction in Public Affairs program impacted her, Danielle responded:

“It was definitely a challenging and eye-opening experience. We really got to take charge and figure out as a team how we were going to make a change in our community. Having these opportunities continue to help me to develop as a leader, a team player, and public speaker. I thank MSU and Leadership Development for giving me these experiences.”

Danielle’s advice for younger students looking to get involved is:

“Challenge Yourself. Never be afraid to go out of your comfort zone and try something new. Missouri State offers us so many opportunities and it’s our personal choice whether or not we take advantage of them. You only get so many years before you leave college and enter the real world so make the most of them!”
