Why did you choose to be a POST Team Leader? 

I want to serve as a POST Team Leader because POST was pivotal in my own transition to Cornell. My first and only visit to Cornell had been during Admitted Students Day, so POST was my first real exposure to the community I would not only be living in for the next four years, but also serving as a Cornell Tradition Fellow. In just four short days, I became friends with people I call my best friends today, and I know this sentiment is shared by many other POSTees. Through reflections, my POST leaders created a welcoming environment that helped me navigate the uncertainty of beginning college. The structure of POST along with sincere support from my Team Leaders, made a nerve-wracking transition feel both doable and exciting. Becoming a POST Team Leader allows me to provide that same reassurance and sense of community to incoming students while also engaging in meaningful service with them.
