LSPA focuses on 5 Pillars of Success: Academics, Leadership, Research, Practicum Experience, and Community Service. In each of our meetings, we aim to incorporate these pillars into our meetings. Therefore, our meetings throughout the year inform our members of our Academic Blueprint. We share where we could find leadership and research opportunities on-campus (and help with resumes and CVs) as it may help in finding internships that provide experience in the field of our member’s interests. As we aim to be the complete package for graduate school, it is important to not forget about the communities we come from and its for this reason that we give back to our communities as we create and inform members of opportunities to give back.
