 Tony Aiello | Racine, WI | Computer ScienceFavorite thing about Parkside: Everyone here is friendly. I was nervous during my first semester as a non-traditional student.

 Nick Potter | Crown Point, IN | GeoscienceInvolvement on campus: Geoscience Club and Adventure Club.Advice: Just get involved, Leadership is nothing more than a bunch of skills, and the nice thing about skills is they can be learned and practiced. Also, you will fail at least once during your leadership career. It doesn't matter what you do when things are going smoothly, but, what matters is what you do when things don't go according to plan and are falling apart. It is in those moments your actions and decisions will make you a good leader. |
