"ULEAD was an amazing opportunity for me to get to know people and feel more comfortable on campus before my first semester of college even began. I gained a lot of knowledge and experiences from this program. It helped me get out of my shell and get more involved."
- Ashley, ULEAD participant
"ULEAD helped me instantly find a group of friends some of which I still talk to frequently and has helped me develop in more ways as a student, professional, and person."
- Laura, ULEAD participant
"I have looked back on my ULEAD experience as a launchpad lifting me to an amazing first year here. I found it much easier to adjust to my new school after getting to know peers & tour the campus with my leaders. Many people I met through ULEAD are now my closest friends, & ULEAD helped me get excited about being involved with the countless activities UWW has to offer. To look back & see I have done so much at UWW, knowing ULEAD was the first step in the way, I can’t thank ULEAD enough for their warm welcome to new students like me."
- Solomon, ULEAD participant
"ULEAD made a massive impact on my first year out of high school. I came into college thinking I would just get through it and go off to work, but ULEAD showed me how amazing college can be and how awesome the people at Whitewater are. ULEAD taught me so much that many of the other first-year students thought I was a junior or senior. ULEAD also gave me a ton of confidence that turned into many friendships that I would have never had otherwise."
- Luke, ULEAD participant
"ULEAD introduced me to some of my best friends on campus and introduced me to all of the organizations I'm involved in! I'm so happy I decided to apply and I know my college experience would not be the same without it."
- Julia, ULEAD participant
