• Enhance your leadership and coaching skills
• Become more actively involved at the UAC community
• Contribute to the intellectual and personal growth of students
• Enhance your problem solving skills
• Improve your communication skills
• Establish positive relationships with the Academic Advisor and your major's faculty
