Presenters: Ashley Murillo Delgado, she/her/hers - UC Davis Alumna, 2020 and Dr. Kristin Dees, she/her/hers - Center for Student Involvement - Igniting A Spark: Turning YOUR Passion Into Action
1:30-1:50 pm; Location: Ballroom A - The COVID-19 pandemic struck a toll in our hearts as we began to dwell away from work, school, and social outings. Uncertainty of when opportunities may come knocking on our door or when we will be able to be face to face with our peers was unknown. However, within this pandemic, we were able to learn, grow, and gain meaningful experiences that contribute to us as effective leaders. Through these experiences we were able to include them into our leadership roles and effectively lead our communities in a better light with hope. Passion was ignited even more throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and we, as leaders, can turn our passion into action through leading with empathy, and starting with small changes one step at a time.
