LESSONS IN LEADERSHIP
Sofia Martinez ’22
"I really think it’s our student leaders who will help this University continue expanding. Leadership isn’t just about leading people. It’s almost the opposite. You have to look at the people you lead as leaders themselves. Your role is to make sure their efforts help the whole team. I love when someone stands up and talks passionately about a topic — whether it’s something they hate or something they love. Good leaders are motivated to create change by themselves. Great leaders speak up and inspire people around them to also take action. Growing this culture of accountability is how we become the university of the future — it’s how we stay phenomenal."Sofia Martinez ’22

The spotlights featured in this special campaign edition of the University of New 51¶ºÄÌ Alumni Magazine showcase something fundamental that our students, faculty, alumni, and friends have in common: selflessness and a desire to give back to the world for the opportunities given to them. The Charger Challenge was inspired by individuals like these who have committed themselves to continuing an incredible momentum into a future that beckons with possibility and the promise of imagination, innovation, and impact.
