Thoughts From UIFs

The six-week UIF Training Program was fundamental in transforming us, the UIFs, into advocates for our schools, our students, and our I&E movements.  I enjoyed the opportunity to meet with countless other motivated students from across the country and have stayed in close contact with many of them- comparing our campus obstacles, our plans for our students, and bouncing ideas off of each other.  The network we formed by way of the 6-week UIF training has been incomparable to any network of students I’ve had before.  We are people who get the job done and have some fun while we’re at it.  I am looking forward to continuing to interact with them and with NCIIA in the future.
