<p>The thing is: it’s not just holding a role in a club, it’s having impact. Leadership is more than a title- it’s what you actually do. Think about how to pump up the neuro club- get it involved, maybe get speakers in, set up a hosp vol program- whatever it is, make it more than talking amongst yourselves. The VCU- same- can you get this group involved with the Vietnamese community, tutor, start some program, be the student rep to some committee, whatever? Think about impact.</p>
